Always its good to intake atleast one portion of Sundal or Salad as part of our day to day diet. The lentils which we use for making Sundal are always very rich in Protein and hence one portion of intake makes us feel so full and we won’t go look for any crunchy fried snack.
Cooked Karamani with coconut seasoning makes a filling and healthy snack for the evening and also help to avoid the carvings for the junk food!
CowPeas (Karamani) Benefits:
Cowpeas are not only versatile and delicious but also important for human health, offering a number of benefits. They help improve digestion, aid in sleep disorders, manage diabetes, and protect the heart. They also detoxify the body, promote healthy skin, aid in weight loss, and improve blood circulation.
Cowpeas are low in calories and cholesterol, which is always a benefit to weight loss and the dietary fiber in them also helps in important ways. It not only optimizes digestion to make sure that you are absorbing nutrients, rather than storing fat or waste in your body, but it also makes you feel full for longer. One of the biggest problems with weight loss programs is overeating on cheat days or snacking between meals. With a high-fiber diet in place, you can achieve your weight loss goals much quicker.
