One of my favorite comfort foods is this clean non-fussy dish of Spinach Dal. This one goes way back from when I was a kid in India. Every Indian home makes very many kinds of ‘dal’ – a soupy lentil side dish which is a staple of every meal. This Spinach Dal was what my childhood friend Minoo’s mom cooked often. I remember spending long lazy summer afternoons (no tv or computers) at her house with the aroma of the her mother’s cooking wafting through. After a long work day, nothing feels as good as to have a bowl of this dal with rice or roti. Rich in protein and iron, this nutritious dal with the aroma of ghee, is always a standby.
