Palak Dal is easy to make lentil cooked with spinach. I like to add simple flavours to the tempering so that the taste of spinach and lentils can be enjoyed.

Serves: 4
Cooking Time: 30 to 40 minutes

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup pigeon pea lentils
  • 2 cups chopped spinach
  • 1/2 teaspoon turmeric powder
  • 1 teaspoon chopped green chillies (adjust according to spice preference)
  • 1 teaspoon fenugreek seeds
  • 1.5 teaspoon chopped garlic
  • 4 teaspoon oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon mustard seeds
  • 1/2 teaspoon cumin seeds
  • salt to taste

Procedure

  • Rinse the lentils until the water runs clear. Add 1.5 to 2 cups and cook the lentils until it is done.
  • In a pan, add 4 teaspoons oil.
  • Once the oil has heated, add mustard seeds and wait for them to crackle.
  • Then add cumin seeds and once they have crackled, add fenugreek seeds and cook for 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Add the chopped garlic and green chillies, cook for 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Add the chopped spinach and cook for 8 to 10 minutes.
