This is yet another favourite curry of mine. I love all kinds of dal in almost all kinds of preparation and I love spinach. So this is a great combo which is very delicious and nutritious.

This recipe is originally from Tarla Dalal. Her recipes are so easy to follow and you truly cannot go wrong. I have made this many times and have modified the recipe a bit along the way. I hope you will give this recipe a try. 😊
