Sushma PS, chief dietician, Jindal Naturecure Institute called this protein moong dal sandwich with no bread not only a unique and creative alternative to traditional sandwiches but also something that offers several nutritional benefits.

“The moong dal (yellow lentils) used in the recipe is an excellent source of plant-based protein. Lentils are known for their high protein content, making this sandwich a suitable option for individuals looking to increase their protein intake,” said Sushma.

Including mixed vegetables such as corn, peppers, and onions adds a variety of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants to the dish. This makes the sandwich not only high in protein but also a good source of essential nutrients. “Since there is no bread in this recipe, it can be a suitable option for those looking to reduce their carbohydrate intake or following a low-carb diet,” said Sushma.

According to Sushma, olive oil provides healthy monounsaturated fats, which are beneficial for heart health. “You have control over the amount of salt added, allowing you to customise the recipe to your taste preferences and dietary needs,” said Sushma.

This recipe is entirely plant-based, making it suitable for vegetarians and vegans. “The toasting process gives the sandwich a crisp texture on the outside while retaining a soft interior. The combination of lentils and vegetables, along with the spices, contributes to a flavorful and satisfying taste,” said Sushma.
