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.
Mayuri Patel
my favourite with bhakri 🙂 I sometimes use the husked moong dal. More fiber.
