Notes
- Turn this delicious Dal Palak (Spinach Dal) recipe into a vegan/vegetarian-friendly dish by replacing ghee with oil and using vegetable stock.
- You can temper the Dal Palak for adding extra flavorings.
- Don't overcook the spinach, cooking them for just a few minutes, until they are wilted is enough to avoid them losing their color and nutrition.
- The leftovers would keep refrigerated for up to five days and frozen for up to 3 months in an airtight container.
