Nourishing Red Lentil and Pumpkin Curry

Health benefits

This is an anti-inflammatory dish which is high in fiber. Another advantage of this recipe is that most of the ingredients are pantry staples, which means that you can make it on a short notice without having to run to the store. A tip is to bring it to work the next day for a healthy, nourishing homemade lunch.

The brightly colored pumpkin and carrot contain beta carotene, an antioxidant which the body converts into vitamin A. Vitamin A is important for maintaining normal vision and eye health as well as the immune system.

The lentils in the curry are a great source of veganprotein as they contain more than 25% protein. They are also rich in vitamin B, magnesium, zinc, potassium and iron. Moreover, lentils contain polyphenols which are health-promoting phytochemicals. The polyphenols procyanidin and flavanols found in lentils are strong antioxidants, and are both anti-inflammatory and neuroprotective.

Since the curry is high in fiber it supports the gut flora. Together with an adequate water intake it also supports a regular bowel movement.
