Zucchini Wali Moong Dal Recipe

Hi my friends, how are you today? I hope you all are fine.

Today in this post, you will learn new recipe, which is not only unique, but also very special and healthy at the same time. You know why? Because this dal is not only made from whole moong, but also it is combined with Zucchini.

Some Kids only love to eat dals(soup wali sabji)but they hate to eat vegetables. So here in this dal, they will think it is Dal, but also they will get half green fresh sabji and that is Zucchini.

I love Zucchini and it is grown here in Canada, that’s why I use it a lot. I use it in Green Morning Juice, use to make Missi Roti. and also for Zucchini Chutney.

I use Zucchini in Pakoras too.

Overall I use it in my daily diet this way or that way, as you will see, we can also add it in dals. I mean incorporating zucchini in your diet can help to improve digestion including digestive issues.

Zucchini Health Benefits

 Zucchini is rich in antioxidants and anti-inflammatory phytonutrients, which help to get rid the body from free Radicals and Excess Inflammation.

Zucchini is a low-starch sabji. Which means it is low in carbohydrates and high in fiber. So it will fill you up and discourage overeating.

Zucchini is a summer squash that is Native to the Americas. Comparatively to other Vegetables; such as Cauliflower, Indian Squash, Winter Melon etc. it is much more Cheaper.
