This palak pappu recipe has lentils cooked with spinach and spices. It is a hearty and flavorful dish that can be served with chapathis or rice. Dal is one of those comforting dishes that you can have for lunch or dinner. I love adding vegetables or greens to dals like beetroot dal.
First, clean spinach and wash under running water with 2 to 3 exchanges of water. Finely chop spinach leaves and set aside.
