Onion and Garlic: Both onions and garlic are rich in antioxidants and have anti-inflammatory properties. They also support cardiovascular health by helping to lower cholesterol levels and blood pressure.
Red Lentils: A great source of plant-based protein and fibre, red lentils help with digestion, stabilize blood sugar levels, and provide essential nutrients like iron and folate.
Tomatoes: Packed with vitamins C and K, potassium, and folate, tomatoes are also high in antioxidants like lycopene, which is linked to numerous health benefits, including reduced risk of heart disease and cancer.
Potatoes: Potatoes are a good source of vitamins C and B6, manganese, phosphorus, niacin, and pantothenic acid. They also contain antioxidants and resistant starch, which benefits gut health.
Spices (Curry Powder, Cumin, Smoked Paprika, Ginger, Turmeric): These spices not only add rich flavours but also come with significant health benefits. Turmeric, especially, is known for its powerful anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, while cumin aids digestion and is a good source of iron. Ginger aids digestion and has anti-nausea and anti-inflammatory effects.
Peas and Corn: These vegetables add fibre, vitamins, and minerals to the dish. Peas are rich in vitamins A, C, K, and folate, and corn provides B vitamins, iron, magnesium, and several antioxidants.
Plant-Based Milk: Depending on the type (almond, soy, oat, etc.), plant-based milk can add a range of nutrients, including vitamins D, E, and calcium. It also makes the dish creamy without adding cholesterol or saturated fat.
