Dal Palak
I have already confessed that I am not a big fan of green leafy vegetable. So, I keep sneaking this veggies in my regular dishes in that way I will get my regular intake of veggies and I happily enjoy them too. And I am really getting good at it. So, I always keep some green leafy veggies and substitute in my dishes for the color and of course for healthy reason.
I am going to share this simple dal recipe with palak/Spinach which is perfect with some hot rice.
So, here goes the recipe for the same:
Ingredients:
For dal:
- 1/2 cup yellow dal( Arhar dal)

- 1/4 cup crushed tomatoes
- 1 green chillies, de-vined, chopped
- 1 teaspoon garam masala powder
- 2 tablespoon oil
- 1 teaspoon cumin seeds

PREPARATION:
- Wash and pressure cook dal with turmeric powder, salt to taste and 2 cups of water.
- Heat oil in a pan over medium heat, add cumin seeds and let it get brown.
- Add chopped onions, garlic, ginger, green chillies and cook until onions get translucent.
