Nutritional Benefits

  • Brown lentils: Excellent plant protein source, rich in polyphenols and prebiotic fibre that supports gut health and blood sugar balance
  • Spinach balls: High in antioxidants like lutein and vitamin C, supports immunity and reduces oxidative stress
  • Oats flour: Provides beta-glucan fibre that helps improve cholesterol levels and keeps you full longer
  • Mixed veggies (carrots, peas, corn): Add a variety of antioxidants, fibre, and micronutrients for overall metabolic health
  • Ginger-garlic-chilli paste: Anti-inflammatory, boosts digestion and enhances nutrient absorption
  • Indian masala + za’atar: Rich in polyphenols and herbs that support gut health and add depth of flavour
  • Oil (for roasting): Helps absorb fat-soluble vitamins and adds satiety
Ingredients:
  • 1 cup cooked brown lentil
  • 1 cup spinach (thawed spinach balls, squeezed dry)

  • 1 tbsp ginger-garlic-green chilly paste
