Looks delicious Nayna.. I have never tried this combo.. made with toor dal in South Indian style and chana dal in Sindhi style which is called Sai Bhaji.
I am going to make it soon 🙂
Lentils and spinach are two of my favourite things and this sounds like the perfect combo.
my favourite with bhakri 🙂 I sometimes use the husked moong dal. More fiber.
This looks yummy. I have never cooked dhal but you may have persuaded me. Does it come out well in the slow cooker?
Oh yum. We eat veggie a lot. This sounds like a delicious meal. I do love your receipes. They're so achievable and delicious
