Dal With Spinach And Yoghurt

---

I completely love this dal - it is so flavoursome and creamy and delicious! It's also my husband's favourite at the moment, so while the recipe makes a good amount, it tends to vanish quite quickly... I use channa dal to make this - feel free to use your dal of choice, but you would need to adjust the cooking time accordingly.
