Indian-Spiced Lentils with Spinach & Rhubarb

WRITTEN BY Ana Patrícia- 12 February 2013

Give in to your craving for Indian food with this nutritious recipe!

Spiced lentils with spinach and rhubarb, oh my! Here's Indian food with a very healthy twist!

I absolutely love Indian food. Palak paneer, butter chicken, aloo gobi, bhindi baji...you name it, I love it! However, it's a cuisine that I treat myself to only once in while. It always becomes a heavy meal with rich ingredients complimented (or loaded, I should say) with rice and naam bread.

Here's a healthy alternative that still has all the flavours of India but with the sweet, nutritious twist of rhubarb and the iron-rich addition of spinach:

Indian-Spiced Lentils with Spinach and Rhubarb from the Vegetarian Times.

At only 250 calories per serving, it's a hearty dish that you can enjoy guilt-free! (Serves 6)
