NOTES.

  1. Always while adding water to any gravy , add hot water.
  2. Sambar pwdr gives a nice flavour to the dal as the palak as no flavour.
  3. You can also temper with crushed garlic like we do for dal tadka towards the end. refer here –DAL TADKA RECIPE
  4. Don’t roughly chop the palak ,but chop it finely as we are not going to mash or blend the dal.
  5. Its a must to soak the dal.
  6. Before chopping ,soak the leaves in water to remove the soil from the leaves.
  7. U can use red chilli while tempering.
