Manjari's Palak Daal (V)

Title: Serves 2 (750g)

A Wholesome Spinach & Lentil Dal from Manjari’s Kitchen

"My Palak Daal is an earthy, healthy and tasty meal that will leave you feeling good on the inside." Manjari

Manjari’s palak dal brings the heart of Indian home cooking to your table. This dish combines protein-rich lentils with fresh spinach, slow-cooked until tender and enriched with cumin, coriander, turmeric, garlic, and a hint of green chilli. Finished with ghee and lemon for brightness, it’s the kind of everyday dal you’ll find bubbling away in kitchens across India... light, wholesome, and deeply satisfying without being heavy.

Already made this is a delicious dinner ready in minutes, this comforting curry delivers everything you love about authentic Indian food. It’s mild enough for the whole family while still layered with the earthy depth that makes dal a staple of Indian dining. Serve it with basmati rice or naan for a complete meal, or enjoy it simply as a bowl on its own.

About Your Cook

Hi I’m Manjari, I'm proudly cooking in honour of my Grandmother and our beloved childhood memories of the many experiments we did together in the kitchen. This is where I nurtured my love for cooking and learned that our biggest ‘failures’ can lead to our best creative breakthroughs. A life lesson that now empowers me to get creative and add my own twist to any recipe.

FAQ's

Manjari blends a mix of yellow and red lentils to create a smooth yet hearty texture. The yellow lentils give body, while the red lentils cook down to a creamy consistency that makes the dal naturally thick and comforting without the need for cream.

Palak dal thickens naturally as it cools. If enjoying it the next day, simply add a splash of water or stock while reheating to loosen the consistency. This brings the dal back to its silky, soupy texture and makes it just as delicious as when it was first cooked.

Because it’s rich in plant protein, iron, and fibre, this dal makes an excellent “meat-free night” option. It’s filling enough to be the main dish, and pairs beautifully with a side of rice or flatbread and a simple salad for balance. Many families add it into their weekly routine as a wholesome, lighter dinner.

    Better than takeaway

    The right amount of spice, very tasty and enough for two large eaters with our own rice. We took a couple of frozen meals away with us which saved cooking and was very convenient as we were out of range of takeaway. Will definitely buy this again.

    This is our favourite Indian Curry and a regular favourite on our Food St orders.

    Beautifully flavoured and spiced 'just right' with quality meat and ingredients and generous portions.

    To be honest this beats 99% of restaurant's "butter chicken" style dishes.

    I’ve had this over and over again and it never disappoints! Such great flavours and not at all sweet like some of the Indian restaurants here. It’s filling, delicious and packed with flavour

    Thanks so much for your great feedback Angie!
