Palak dali ambat recipe - Spinach dal curry  is one of the varieties of coconut based gravies that is usually prepared in South Indian homes. Curry is called as ambat in Konkani language. This is a very easy to cook curry and it is usually served with hot rice. In konkan region, coconut is used to prepare gravies (ambat) and palya. Rice and curry is my comfort food which I like to have it for both lunch and dinner. So, besides spinach dal curry, I often prepare methi dal ambat,  basale soppina palya, dal curry with white masala, tomato saaru, drumstick dal curry etc.
