Palak Rice

Spinach is a rich source of iron. Hence I try to include it in our diet at least once in a week. Cooking spinach with dal always was boring and so I wanted to try something new. This recipe which I learnt from a friend is very tasty and different. It is very easy and quick to make too. Try this out and you will also like it.
