Easy Low FODMAP Vegan Spinach Dhal

 

Easy Low FODMAP Vegan Spinach Dhal

This Easy Low FODMAP Vegan Spinach Dhal is suitable for all types of diets. Vegan, FODMAP, gluten-free, Keto, you name it.

I know what it’s like to struggle with IBS, and being put on the FODMAP diet. It SuX.
So I decided to create a recipe that can help my FODMAP diet readers out there.

A portion of this brightens up a grey cold day. Leafy greens are one of the most nutrient-dense foods. I try to have some every day as they are loaded with so many vitamins and minerals.

This is a great healthy lunch box dish, just make sure to use airtight containers. Also, it’s good frozen where it will last for 3 or so months. For some reason, this dish often tastes better as leftovers heated up. Maybe the spices blend and mature when left for longer to mingle?

I like to serve this Dal with rice, for a complete meal. I also sometimes eat it as a soup…Cos why not. 😀
Another option is to blend the whole thing. You can smooth soup/sauce.

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups/450g chopped spinach leaves
  • 6 tablespoons of cooked mashed potatoes roughly around 1 large potato
  • 2 green chilies chopped
  • 1 dried red chili or 1 tsp of chili flakes
  • 1/2 teaspoon ginger peeled and minced
  • 2 tablespoons peanuts optional
  • 1/4 teaspoon garam masala powder
  • 1/2 tsp of turmeric
  • 1/2 tsp cumin seeds
  • 1 tablespoon oil
  • Salt to taste

Instructions
 

  • Heat oil in a pan. Toast cumin seeds. Add. Next, add crushed ginger and saute. Now add slit green chilies and dried red chili. Saute well. Add the turmeric.
  • Now add peanuts. Peanuts are optional but I recommend. They especially provide a nice crunch to otherwise smooth dal. Saute very well for 2 minutes
  • Next, add chopped spinach leaves and saute well for 3-4 minutes. The spinach leaves should wilt and shrink well. If you especially want a very smooth dal suitable for toddlers you can also puree the spinach and use.
  • Once the spinach leaves are well cooked add the mashed potato and 1 cup/244ml broth/water. Season with salt. Cook in medium heat for 5-7 minutes.
  • Finally, add 1/4 teaspoon garam masala powder and mix. Simmer for 2 minutes.
  • Serve with rice.

Notes

Feel free to add lentils to make traditional dhal, but I decided to keep this one extra 'Spinagy'
The dhal will keep well in the fridge for up to 4 days!

    Why are the mashed potato’s measured in tablespoons in this recipe? How do i know how many potatoes make 6 tbsp of mashed potato’s? Seemed like a weird way to measure it.

      Hi Mathew,

      Sorry about that. It’s roughly 1 large potato. The recipe has been fixed.
