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

  

1x2x3x

• 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!
