Warm yourself up on a cold winter day with this yummy heart healthy Lentil soup. The green gram(moong dal) is full of protein and dietary fiber, low in cholesterol and is almost like a vegetarian superfood. The combination of green gram, spinach leaves and fresh coriander makes this soup full of flavors and nutrition.
I pressure cook the dal so it is ready in few minutes. Just squeeze some fresh lemon juice and enjoy!
