Paalakwali Daal

Paalak is the only green leaf veggie my kids eat, so once in every week I cook paalak.  We all love it a lot.

Here is the simple recipe of daal.

Ingredients:

1 bunch of paalak/spinach, u can use frozen also.
1/2 cup Toor Daal/Masoor Daal
1 small onion chopped
2-3 green chillies

2 cloves garlic chopped

1/4 tsp turmeric powder

1/4 tsp Chilli Powder

1/2 tsp Jeera/cumin seeds

1 tsp tamarind pulp

1 tbsp Oil

Salt.

Method:

Cook daal in pressure cooker or in a pan till mushy with little salt and turmeric powder.

Wash & clean paalak, remove the thick stems soft/thin stems are fine.  Chop the spinach leaves.

In a kadhai/pan, heat oil.  Add the cumin seeds.

When the cumin seeds crackle, add the onion, green chillies and garlic fry till the onion & garlic turns brown.

Add the chopped spinach, sprinkle some salt and close with a lid.
Let the spinach cook at a medium low flame.
Mash the cooked daal and add it to the cooked spinach.
Add the chilli powder and tamaring pulp.
Check the consistency and if u want can add some water & bring to boil.

Tastes heavenly.  Enjoy.
