Lentils are a good source of protein, fiber and complex carbs. Greens / fenugreek leaves are a good source of fiber there by stabilizing blood sugars. Regular use helps lower cholesterol and provides anti inflammatory effects.

I often add greens or vegetables to my lentils not just to add flavor but also to add health benefits.
