Dal with generous amount of yummy garlic and spices makes a very satisfying meal. All you need is only a cup of hot steamed white rice. The most interesting ingredient in the curry is The Vaali leaves or the Malabar spinach which has a high amount of protein and good source of Potassium & Magnesium in it. It is said that decoction of leaves helps to relieve constipation in children and pregnant woman. Also consuming raw leaves treats mouth ulcer as well and many more health benefits. Sharing the pic of my Home grown Vaali spinach:)
