Green Moong Dal Soup - #5448

Lately, I’ve been trying to eat healthier and include more Ayurveda-based foods in my diet. I keep hearing about green moong dal soup and how it’s considered a superfood in Ayurveda, but I’m not exactly sure how to make it or what all the benefits are. Here’s why I’m interested: I’ve been feeling bloated, heavy, and low on energy for weeks now, especially after eating my regular meals, which are pretty carb-heavy. Someone suggested green moong dal soup because it’s supposed to be light, easy to digest, and packed with nutrients. Is it really that effective for improving digestion? I’ve read that it helps with detoxing the body too, but I’m not sure how often I’d need to eat it to see any results. I’ve also been trying to lose a little weight, and it seems like green moong dal soup might be good for that since it’s low in calories but filling. Is that true? Are there specific ingredients you should add or avoid to make it more effective for weight loss? I came across a recipe that used ghee and spices like cumin, turmeric, and coriander, but does adding ghee make it too heavy, or is it still okay for a detox? Another thing I’m wondering about is whether green moong dal soup is suitable for all doshas. I don’t know my exact dosha yet, but I suspect I have a Pitta imbalance because I feel overheated and irritable a lot. Is this soup cooling enough to help balance Pitta, or do you need to prepare it differently for each dosha? Lastly, how should green moong dal soup be incorporated into a daily routine? Should it replace a meal, or is it better as a side dish or a light snack? If you eat it too often, can it cause any imbalances? I’m also curious if soaking the dal beforehand is necessary, or if skipping that step affects its nutritional value or digestibility. I’d really appreciate some tips! What’s the easiest way to prepare it without losing its benefits, and how long does it take to notice improvements in digestion or energy levels?
