    Healthy spinach tomato dal taste so delicious with hot rice. This tomato dal is tangy and so flavourful. The taste goes well with rice or roti. This dal is one of my favorite. I love having it with plain white rice or roti. This dal is so delicious, it has a spicy flavour. The seasoning has to be done in ghee which gives pure aroma and taste to it.
