Nutritional values

Tofu convinces with a good portion of iron. The trace element is needed for the cell structure and is significantly involved in the transport of oxygen from the lungs through the blood to the rest of the body. Vitamin C from lemon juice ensures that the iron is absorbed particularly well.

For even more exotic flavor, you can replace the almond paste with peanut butter. As a side dish, we recommend aromatic whole-grain basmati rice with the lentil dal with spinach and tofu.
