Palak Dal

This is a simple and very common dish, but when I did a search online, there were so many different versions, that I decided to put mine up.

A true comfort food, palak daal makes for the best accompaniment with hot rice and subzi on a weeknight.

Palak Dal

What I Used:

Serves 2

Toor dal/Yellow lentil - 1 cup
Fresh green spinach, chopped - 1 cup
Turmeric powder - 1/4 tsp
Garlic - 4 cloves
Red chillies - 4
Curry leaves - one strand
Oil - 2 tbsp
Salt - to taste

How I Made It:

1. Pressure cook the dal and spinach with some turmeric for 2-3 whistles.

2. Heat 2 tbsp oil in a kadai, crackle some mustard seeds, add the crushed garlic and red chillies and fry for a minute.

3. Add the cooked dal-spinach and mix well.

Serve hot with rice or phulkas.
