This Recipe is not only simple but very healthy. It has protein loaded with iron too. This dal palak recipe is also made in different ways and with different dals( lentils). But this moong dal palak is one of my favorite.
Sometimes when i cant think of any other option of recipes with spinach i make this as its simple and easy
and healthy too..
For making it for 4 people:-
Ingredients:-
Moong dal( split without skin)- 1 cup
Spinach- 1/2 bunch
1 medium onion finely chopped
1tsp ginger garlic paste
1 medium tomato chopped
cilantro leaves chopped for garnishing
2 tbsp oil

After its cooled down pressure cook the dal with 1 tsp of salt and 1/2 tsp of turmeric powder for about 1 whistle and dont open it until all the gas goes out.
Now Take a pan add oil, add jeera( cumin seeds) after the oil is hot and let it splutter and then add the finely chopped onions .
