It’s possible to kick start the immune system with herbal and nutrient supplements, but you can also do it with amazingly potent and powerful anti-microbial, anti-viral, and anti-fungal spiced cooking. This vegan yellow split pea dahl is absolutely the perfect example of this.
Indian spices are easy to use and are so crazy healthful. With the mix of curry spices and potent fresh ginger, this spicy dahl is a dish that we love to eat and even serve at family celebrations. It’s a one-pot, amazingly easy, healing and hearty meal that makes for great leftovers and even freezes well.
Health Benefits of This Yellow Split Pea Dahl Include:
Curry Powder: There are a collection of spices in curry powder, including ginger, fennel, cumin and coriander, but the star of the curry powder show is turmeric. This bright orange root is highly anti-inflammatory and rich in antioxidants, as well as high in anti-microbial and anti-bacterial compounds. And it will give your curry that gorgeous yellow colour.
Fresh Ginger:Ginger is another anti-inflammatory root that’s great for digestion, nausea and for relieving cold symptoms. It really gives an extra spicy zing to this dahl.
Split Peas: These little dried beans are rich in protein, which is super important for healing, energy and repair. If you have a tough time with beans and legumes, here’s some advice to help you eat more beans and fart less.
Onions: Onions are an incredible, inexpensive superfood. They’re rich in a compound called quercetin – a phytochemical that helps reduce the symptoms of seasonal allergies.
Coconut Oil:This is one of my absolute favourite fats. Coconut oil is composed of easily digestible medium-chain fats that aid with weight loss, immunity, skin + hair care, wound healing, digestion and brain health.
Get a big pot and make this split pea dahl. Let the immune support begin!
