Spinach and Mung Beans Dal

As a child I used to hate spinach (not a big surprise). But as I grew up I acquired a taste for spinach and it is now one of my favorite vegetables. We have spinach almost everyday at home either cooked or raw. This is one of my all time favorite spinach recipes. It is really a 10 minute recipe.
