I wanted to cook something tasty out of Spinach other than Sai Bhaji, thats how I tried cooking it with my favourite daal - tuvar Daal. You can certainly add your favourite daal/lentil. This is simple yet very healthy vegetable serving.
Ingredients
- 1/2 Cup Tuvar daa/any lentil soaked in water
- 1 Bunch of Spinach cleaned
- 1 small onion sliced lengthwise
- 1 small tomatoe chopped
- 1 tbsp garlic-ginger paste
- 2 tbsp oil
- 1/2 tsp turmeric powder
- 1/2 tsp chilli powder
- 1/2 tsp garam masala powder
- 1/2 tsp cumin powder
- pinch of asoeftida
Direction
- heat oil in Pressure cooker.
- When oil heats up add asofetida, ginger-garlic paste and onion. saute until onions turn translucent.
- Add tomatoe & salt and cook for couple of minutes.
- Now Add turmeric, chilli, garam masala & cumin powder. cook for minute.
- Wash Daal. Add Daal, Spinach and 1/2 cup water to pressure cooker.
- Secure pressure cooker with cover and cook until 3 whistles or until daal is cooked. I like Pressure cooking for all lentils because they cook quickly and it saves lot of gas.
- You can alternatively cook everything in open vessel too until daal and spinach are cooked properly or you can use half cooked daal.
Once it is cooked serve with hot rice!!
