Nutritional values

The lentils provide the stew with their richness of proteins with full plant power. Bitter substances and essential oils from the celery take over several functions: They soothe an upset stomach and can relieve mild stomach pain. Bitter substances stimulate the production of various digestive juices and get the intestines going. Pathogens don't stand a chance because the essential oil apiin slows them down with its antibacterial effect.

The stew is accompanied by freshly baked naan bread with black sesame seeds. Try our recipe for filled Indian naan bread with lentil stew.
