A spectacular preparation where a simple tovar dal combined with spinach that enhances the appearance and flavour of the dish.


This mildly spiced recipe is a storehouse of nutrients since the dal is rich in proteins where as the spinach is a rich source of calcium. Arhar ki Dal with Spinach should be eaten hot with rotis or rice .
