I learnt about nutrient value and different ways of preparing this beautiful little legume's when I was in India.
I now prepared this Spicy Curry pretty often at home, it goes well with flat bread and jeera rice.
我们闽南人很喜欢吃眉豆,做糕点,煲汤,裹粽,都爱用点眉豆,闽南有名的豆签就是眉豆粉做的,特别营养好味。
印度人也爱吃眉豆,但是他们是加香料炖了吃,配面饼或米饭吃都特别香,净吃也可口呢!
网上搜来的:
【眉豆的营养成分相当丰富,包括蛋白质、脂肪、糖类、钙、 磷、铁及食物纤维、维A原、维生素B1、维生素B2、维C和氰甙、酪氨酸酶等,眉豆衣的B族维生素含量特别丰富。
此外,还有磷脂、蔗糖、葡萄糖。另外眉豆中还含有血球凝集素,这是一种蛋白质类物质,可增加脱氧核糖核酸和核糖核酸的合成,抑制免疫反应和白细胞与淋巴细胞的移动,故能激活肿瘤病人的淋巴细胞产生淋巴毒素,对肌体细胞有非特异性的伤害作用,故有显著的消退肿瘤的作用。
肿瘤患者宜常吃眉豆,有一定的辅助食疗功效。眉豆气清香而不串,性温和而色微黄,与脾性最合。】

Hi may I know where to buy Garam masala and Asafetida ? I am from Singapore, is my first time to cook India dish.
ReplyDeleteThank you!
Hi Soh, welcome to my blog! You should be able to get them both in Indian supermarket.
DeleteIf not, try online. You can omit asafoetida if you really can't find it.
