I add kale to everything because it's such a nutrient dense green leafy vegetable and I grow it almost year-round in my gardens. Of course, you could add spinach, chard, broccoli leaves, or any other green you have on hand. You can also add diced zucchini, diced carrots, and whatever vegetables you like to this. I like to keep it simple, this way I can prepare it in 10 minutes or less then walk away from it while it is simmering on the stove. Serve dal with a dollop of Spicy Peach Chutney and cooked Sticky Brown Rice.
