A Maharashtrian delight, tweaked to boost the health value! The smoothness and colour of palak combine well with the texture and crunch of peanuts. While palak adds vitamin A to this dish, chana dal adds nutrients like calcium, iron, folic acid, zinc and fibre. Ensure that you do not overcook chana dal, as it should be separate and not mashed. Chana dal and peanuts contain high amount of fat (invisible), hence all you weight watcher's relish this dal occasionally.

Method

Clean, wash and soak the chana dal for 15 minutes. Drain and keep aside.
