dal palak recipe

Dal palak is undoubtedly a very healthy dish with its origins in the northern part of India. If you are vegetarian and loves Indian cuisine, this is certainly a great addition to your recipe repertoire. I’m not a vegan obviously, but for me, it’s comfort food with all the goodness of lentils and spinach.
