Daal is a very fast to prepare indian dish. I don’t think spinach can be found in any traditional recipe, though I really enjoy the combination of flavors. This recipe contains two spicing variants, one more traditional and one more experimental heavily relying on other self made spice mixes.

This recipe was the result of a graving for couscous in combination with leftover ingredients we had to use soon. I was honestly surprised how well the combination of the chosen ingredients worked for this dish. While I would not say any of the three parts are outstanding on its own, the combination was a very delicious fresh summer meal.
