Palak Maharani

Etymology : Palak is spinach and since there are all dals in this one - it borrows Maharani from Dal Maharani which is a mix dal preparation :)-

My kids love this spinach and dal concoction!
It is extremely simple and fast to make .. try this ...
Goes very well with rice or roti - just eat this hot on a monsoon evening watching the rains through your window !
Needless to say - very healthy yet tasty!
