"Eat more pulses to manage PCOS" !!!
Lentils are a quintessntial part of every Indian Kitchen. So today's post is a high protein dish. It is the Pancharatna Dal Adai. Pancharatna dal , as the name suggests , is a combo of five lentils namely:
๐ฑ Urad Dal - one of the richest sources of proteins & Vitamin B
๐ฑ Chana Dal - rich in B Complex Vitamins that keeps you active and energetic
๐ฑ Moong Dal - a low fat and aids in losing weight
๐ฑ Masoor Dal - maintains weight & improves gut health
๐ฑ Arhar or Toor Dal - a rich source of Carbohydrates and fibre
So this combination of lentils keeps you full for a longer time and hence curb your cravings. It is ideal for those wanting to lose weight, which is one of the key thing for woman suffering with PCOS.
Well, eating right always takes time to become a part of your lifestyle, but once it is incorporated, you will reap its benefits. Agree?
I used the ready-made Pancharatna dal from (Pro Nature brand #pronatureorganic).
If you can't find one, you can easily make it yourself too. You just have to take equal quantities of the dals mentioned above.

Grind it along with green chillies, ginger and curry leaves. The batter should not be very thick or very thin.
Add curry leaves, grated coconut and finely chopped onions to the batter.
Heat a tawa. Once hot, add a ladle of the batter and spread it like how you make dosa (crepes). Make a small hole at the centre.
Drizzle oil. Cover and cook for a minute.
