Daal Palak -Pigeon peas cooked with spinach and mild spices

Daal palak is an easy,delicious and healthy recipe.you can add lots of green in tuvar daal and make a healthy dish to serve with steamed rice or roti. Kids often refuse eating spinach but if you serve this daal palak they will surely love this as it taste good and also looks very nice.its my favorite every day comfort food and makes it often.

As we all knew very well that spinach is a very good source of iron, vit A, vit C ,vit K ,magnesium ,and vit 12 ,good for eye health and have anti aging properties.

so I always try to incorporate spinach in our diet but as spinach spoil very soon so I often make spinach puree and use it to make Palak poori or delicious and healthy Palak ka raita which my children likes very much.

Daal is always  in the dinner menu at my home either with rice or rotis – U.P style tuvar daal  ,Punjabi tadka daal , sabut Masoor ki daal  , Rajasthani panchmel daal are my family favourite
