The benefits of spinach or palak is multifaceted:
#It prevents Cancer
#Helps in keeping the Blood Sugar in check
#Aids in the Weight Loss
#Aids in the Good Bone Health
#Good for the Eyes
#Reduces Hypertension
#Has Anti-inflammatory Properties
#Keeps the Body Relaxed
Now, this specific dish can be had as the Dal base (the way I’ve prepared tdy) & also as the Sabji base (in that case, it needs to be even more drier than this one
Trust, this one’s a complete delicacy to be had & relished with piping hot steamed rice and even chapatis/Rotis
Learnt this particular recipe from a neighbor- Gujarati Aunty while my long stay in the state & city- Vadodara, over a decades long time

A hardcore Bong- that has a tremendous wanderlust in her blood as well as that much passion for cooking new ideas and recipes & also, camouflaging certain recipes across the globe-Of course, all that maintains its heritage and cultures in its looks and taste both yet caters to the day’s call/requirement to be health conscious but a great foodie that’s innate in her genes and tries to satiate the crowd- Be ANY, with all that 😊💁🏻‍♀️👍🏻
