TitBits 😀

*Dont drain the water after the spinach and moong dal is pressure cooked. So better add only sufficient water to cook them.

* You can also boil the spinach n moong dal in a vessel instead of cooker but it is time consuming so i suggest u pressure cook them.

* You can also use store bought tomato puree instead of fresh tomatoes.

* Dilute it a bit and you can then serve this dish as Lentil-Palak soup 😉

Dal Palak tastes good with chapathi or roti. This is really a nutritious side dish.

Try and Enjoy Dal Palak!
