📌Spinach Moong Dal (also known as Dal Palak) is a comforting, highly nutritious Indian dish that combines protein-rich green moong dal - lentils with iron-packed fresh spinach leaves.
📌 It is light on the stomach, naturally gluten-free, and pairs beautifully with hot basmati rice or fresh rotis.

#Manisha_PureVeg_Treasure #LoveToCook_ServeWithLoveis my introduction as a home chef.At the age of 10, I started my cooking journey with my mother's guidance. My cooking guru is my Maa - Mrs. Madhuri Dhanraj Bhatia. She was a master home chef, running a small business of food items like daily meal tiffin, traveling food packs, seasonal pickles, papad, chips, fryums, etc. So I learned a lot from her. At the age of 18, I got married to a huge joint family and started my new journey. My family loves my dishes and appreciates me. Especially my husband and my son. So, day by day, I improved myself, and today, cooking is my hobby, my passion. My husband, Mr. Kamal Sampat always supports and motivates me. All credits goes to my mother and my husband.I joined Cookpad in September 2018.Till today sharing my recipes. I am happy to join Cookpad, to learn and share more and many more. ❤️👍👌💐
