This recipe is a traditional UP dish and we call it Dalpeta in our home (also called Palak Dal) . A very common dal made regularly in our home and it taste yummy.  This dal taste so good and goes well with rice or roti and without any side dish.  Add ghee and it taste just so yum.

Salt - to taste
Water


Method:

1.  Clean, wash and chop spinach.  Meanwhile wash and soak the dal in little water.



2. Pressure cook washed turmeric, Channa dal and chopped palak together for 20-25mins as channa dal takes more time to cook.

Let the daal sit for 10 minutes before you dig in. Serve with rice/roti/paratha.


Have a good day ~~

  1. Dalpeta looks good. Dal and Palak make a delicious combo mixed with goodness. Down south dal and palak is made in different ways and I love all those combos.
