Slow Cooker Moringa Dal

 

You don’t have to limit your moringa to smoothies and lattes. Try adding it to savory dishes, too. The moringa in this dal isn’t very noticeable other than it adds a slight sweetness and pretty green color. And it blends well with the dal’s fragrant spices. It’s also nice to know that with each bite, you’re getting all of the nourishing benefits that moringa has to offer.
