Spinach and moong mash

A simple iron-friendly mash using palak and soft moong — once greens are on the menu.

Leafy greens and dal together make a soft green mash. Everyday kitchen ingredients.

What you need • A small handful of washed spinach leaves • 1 tbsp cooked soft moong dal • A little cooking water

How to make it

  • Blanch or steam the spinach for 2–3 minutes until wilted.
  • Cool slightly, squeeze out extra water, and mash or blend with the moong.
  • Loosen with a spoon of warm water until spoonable.
  • Serve lukewarm the same day.

A little tip: Introduce spinach only after a few other first foods. Always supervise.
