Palak gravy with a touch of chana dal

We make palak in different to help us eat it every week at least a couple of times. The same style every time will put me in a situation to force everybody to eat it. Its kinda the same gravies but little different ingredients and style of cooking that keeps all the dishes going around the table more often. This one involves frying up all the ingredients and then a quick coarse blend to be served. A little fried chana dal gives a new taste
