Being a wife and a mother, I have decided to love cooking and so far so good. I now enjoy cooking as much as I enjoy eating. Most of all, my hubby appreciates and is happy about it. Below is one of my hubby's fave dish. He taught me the recipe. It is a very simple dish and easy to prepare.
Toor Dal

This sounds good! My husband and I are trying to eat more lentils and beans. We still eat meat, but not nearly as much as we used to. I’m not sure what palak leaves are though. They look sort of like petchay in the picture. I’ll have to ask someone or look them up.

Palak is same as Spinach (as per my hubby) I love petchay leaves but I don’t think it’s a good alternative to palak..Try ‘talbos ng kamote’ (sweet potato leaves) if you can’t find palak leaves. I haven’t tried though because sweet potato leaves are not available here.Just a suggestion but don’t blame me if it doesn’t taste nice lol 🙂 Thanks for stopping by 🙂

OK, I think I figured out it was spinach, which isn’t available here, but I can try the talbos ng kamote – plenty of that here! We love adding greens to our diet, so it will be a good thing for us to try. Thanks for writing back!
