This recipe was introduced by my friend, she said you must definitely try it. I absolutely loved this recipe. When I found it the first time I felt it was a very lengthy process. But I could make it within half hour. This has the goodness of both spinach and coconut along with dal. Do give it a try. This is adapted from Palakkad Chamayal blog.
