Sometimes all you need is just a couple of fresh ingredients thrown into a pan of simply seasoned dal to create a warming and comforting dish. The spinach along with a little yogurt makes this soothing yet deeply delicious. Serve it with some bread, or on a pile of steaming hot plain rice—the choice is yours.
