Move Over Maida, Nutritionist Shares How To Make Healthier Masoor Dal-Base Pizza At Home

Pizzas are often seen as something ‘unhealthy’, eaten as an indulgence or a cheat meal. However, the problem is not with pizza per se, but rather the ingredients being used. For example, if you are trying to lose weight or eat healthy, frozen pizzas are a big no. Next, even if you eat fresh pizzas from restaurants and cafes, the white refined flour used to make the pizza base is not a healthier option. The solution? You can make a healthy and tasty pizza at home using, not flour, but lentils. Yes, you read that right! Nutritionist Dominique Ludwig has recently shared a red lentil (masoor dal) base pizza recipe on her Instagram handle. Let’s check it out!

What Makes The Red Lentil Pizza Recipe Healthier?

The nutritionist explains that swapping the base for red lentils has plenty of advantages. This recipe is “completely gluten-free, higher in protein and fibre and also leaves you feeling lighter compared to eating a regular pizza.” According to Healthline, lentils are low in calories, rich in iron and folate, and an excellent source of protein. They pack health-promoting polyphenols and may reduce several heart disease risk factors.
