Never combine lentils with meat / chicken
Zareen Bin Abdullah Al-Fuqaimi ~ زَرِين بن عبد الله الفُقَيمي
Ibn Al Qayyam was a man who lived for 60 years only, but had an experience of 1,000 years, he wrote :
وأردأ ما أُكِلَ بالنمكسود
Lentils become the worst if combined with Namkasood (a Persian word), which was a kind of spicy / salted ~ dried MEAT RECIPE cooked during old times, so it is an ALARM for those who like Daals cooked with meat OR Chicken, some people love Daal Gosht, it is the worst combination.
Ibn Al Qayyam wrote further :
ويُقلل ضرره السلقُ، والإسفاناخ، وإكثار الدُّهن
Eating lentils with beetroot & spinach (with Olive oil exclusively) will reduce their negative side effects. Also, one should avoid eating lentils with sweets because lentils can cause clogs in the liver in this case. Eating Daals on a regular basis causes harm to the eyesight because they are very dry. Lentils also cause urine retention, cold swelling and excessive flatulence. The best type of Adas is the fat white Adas that digests faster.
Based on the advice from Ibn Al Qayyam, I tried various Daals & reached the conclusion that best type of lentils is black eyed peas (White Lobia) & white beans.
