Palak Dal

There are days when I absolutely go blank on what to cook for the day’s menu.Especially when  there are minimum vegetables in the fridge or if it is overloaded also.Does it happen with you’ll?So few days back on one such day I prepared Palak dal where I just went on preparing and the outcome was good.This not only makes a comfort food but is also good for health.This dal goes well with rice and chapathi.And very easy to prepare too.I prepared this with tur dal but you may also prepare it with moong dal or chana dal or even mixed dal with a combination of 1/4 ratio.
