"Yellow mung dal/lentils are roasted till aromatic and then cooked with spinach and tempered with spices. A comfort food which brings on warm fuzzy feelings. Like most of the Indian recipes, this is very adaptable and are cooked in different ways, with different lentils and different spices depending on the region where it is cooked and definitely on the mood of the chef! I have different kinds of Palak Dal that I make at home. This one here is my favorite, not just because it tides in nostalgia, but also because of the roasted mung dal that is used here. It is very popular to lightly dry roast the yellow mung dal before cooking in West Bengal. Roasting the lentils, brings out the beautiful aroma that will hang around your home for a long time." - John (bird whisperer) from Bookmarklet
