Perfected palak dal

Palak dal and rice is my comfort food. It is also easy to make and I have been making it for years. Here is my perfected and simplistic recipe for palak dal.


1) Boil dal and palak with haldi in cooker. Add a clove of garlic. Cook the dal till one whistle. It should be perfectly boiled.
2) Finely chop 2 cloves of garlic, one green chilli and chop 1 whole tomato.
3) Take ghee/butter, add jeera, garlic and green chillies. Fry them till the garlic almost begins to burn.(The taste of garlic comes out better when it is turned brown) Add tomatoes and cook till the tomatoes melt.
4) Open the cooker, add the result of point 3 and keep the open cooker on the gas in simmer for sometime till the dal comes to a full boil (take a minute or 2).

Eat with rice :). Or eat as is if you are on diet.
