The best Swiss chard curry dhal in town

Preparation: 20 min Cooking time: 45 min – Easy – $
This is one of the healthiest recipe I love to do on my lazy days. It is so yummy that I usually cook tons of it and freeze it so I can have some good meal for lunch. Lentils are an excellent source of iron and proteins when it’s combined with rice.
Dhals are perfect when you know you have a good workout ahead, you won’t be hungry even though your workout starts at 8pm and you’ve had your last piece of food at lunch. Trust me, it’s magical 🙂
Add a bit of sweetness in this curry for the better
I love to vary the vegetables and the spices in the dish and today I am sharing with you a version with Swiss chards (so seasonal), dates and potatoes.
Tip: The longer you will cook your curry, the tastier it will get !
