This is a comforting everyday dal. My kids love this dal mixed with cooked plain rice and ghee. Spinach adds texture, fiber, and essential nutrients.

Number Of Ingredients 15

4 cups water
1 cup split yellow lentils (moong dal)
1 bunch fresh spinach, shredded
2 green chile peppers, halved lengthwise
1 (1 inch) piece fresh ginger, grated
1 teaspoon ground turmeric

I'm not a big fan of lentils, but I really enjoyed this dish. The spinach and tomatoes really balance out the flavor of the lentils.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover spinach. I always have a bunch of spinach in my fridge that I don't know what to do with.

I'm allergic to spinach, so I substituted kale in this recipe. It turned out great! The kale added a nice earthy flavor.

This is the best moong dal with spinach recipe I've ever tried! The lentils are cooked perfectly and the spinach is still vibrant and green.

This dish is a bit too spicy for my taste, but it's still very flavorful. I'll probably reduce the amount of chili powder next time I make it.

Not bad, but not great either. I've had better moong dal with spinach.

Followed the recipe exactly and it was a disaster! The lentils were undercooked and the spinach was mushy. I'm not sure what went wrong, but I won't be trying this recipe again.

This dish was a bit bland for my taste, but it had great potential. I think adding some more spices and herbs would really elevate the flavor.

This moong dal with spinach was an absolute delight! The flavors were perfectly balanced, with a hint of sweetness from the spinach and a touch of tanginess from the tomatoes. The lentils were cooked to perfection, and the overall texture was creamy
