IP Kale Pappu(Dal/Parappu)

We try and prepare dishes from any cuisine the most authentic way possible but sometimes it’s fun to switch it up. Also, it’s always best to cook with local/ in-season vegetables and greens to get most nutrients. So we have always loved making dal/pappu with any available greens like Collard, Spinach, Mustard greens or Swiss Chard. Its different from usual Indian Lentils but it’s fun and easy way to sneak greens for kids 😀👌!!
