Dal Palak | Spinach Moong Dal Recipe – an easy-to-make and nutritious one-pot recipe – yellow moong dal cooked with onion-tomato-spinach, tempered with jeera and flavoured with basic spice powders.

This dal palak recipe gets ready quickly and you can serve this with parathas/ phulka rotis or steamed rice/jeera rice.

We have cooked dal in oil but for a more rich taste you can use ghee as well. This is a quick recipe and the only time goes in soaking and cooking dal. Once this part is done, rest of the process is pretty quick. To save time, while the dal is cooking, you can prepare the tempering and keep the onion-tomato-spinach mixture ready. Once the dal is cooked, you simply need to add the cooked dal to onion-tomato mixture and adjust consistency.
