Daals are just so wholesome and comforting. I absolutely love them.
This recipe has evolved over the years and has been massively improved by making a fresh curry paste first.
The spinach is optional, but for me, it adds a delicious earthy undertone. I would also recommend blitzing the spinach so that it mixes really well and turns the daal lovely and green.
I’m still working on perfecting tarka daal (I just can’t replicate that authentic toasted flavour at home), I’ll post the recipe when I’ve done it!
This spinach dal is perfect as a main served with flatbreads and pickles, or as a yummy side dish.
Enjoy, love Niki xx

The flavours in this dhal were amazing! I was confused when directions say blitz spinach and coriander as I’d put coriander in the paste as it was in the paste ingredients list
