Masoor Dal & Spinach Stew is built around balance rather than intensity. Whole brown lentils form a steady, protein-rich base, while spinach adds softness and nutritional depth without overpowering the dish. The lentils are cooked first, so they hold their shape, the spices are cooked gently for flavour, and the spinach is added at the end to stay fresh. The result is a stew that feels grounding yet light, thick without being heavy, and comforting without relying on excess fat or cream.
