- Instead of lentils, you can use boneless chicken pieces/ A2 paneer in the curry. Cut the chicken into cubes or strips and cook them in the curry until they are tender and fully cooked.
Notes
- Masoor dal is packed with essential nutrients like folate, iron, magnesium, and potassium.
- Coconut milk is a good source of MCTs (medium-chain triglycerides) and minerals like manganese, copper, iron, and magnesium. These minerals are involved in various bodily processes, such as bone health, red blood cell production, enzyme function, and nerve function.
