Lasooni Dal Palak

One of my favourite recipes and best compliments with jeera rice or chapathi. On a lazy cold winter day you will definitely relish this. That doesnt mean you cannot eat it now :) So, here are the ingredients...


Ingredients:

Toor dal - 1 cup
Palak (spinach) - 1 large bunch ( two cups chopped)
Garlic - 3 to 4 pods
Onion - 1 small
Jeera (cumin seeds) -  1 tsp
Green chillies - 3 to 4
Butter - 1 tsp
Oil - 2 tsp
Garam masala - 1/2 tsp
Cumin powder - 1/2 tsp
Coriander powder - 1/2 tsp
Lemon juice - 1/2 lemon
Salt to taste


Method:

Pressure cook the toor dal for three whistles. Heat butter in a pan. Add oil to it.  When it is hot, add jeera. Once the jeera splutters, split the green chillies length wise and add to it. Now add garlic and and chopped onion to the pan.

Once the onion turns translucent, add palak to it. Fry for a minute, till the palak reduces in size. Add little water to it just enough to cover the palak. Cook for a minute or two.

Now add the cooked dal to it. Mix well. Add salt and all the dry masala powders to it. Mix well. 

Reduce the flame and cook for a minute. Switch off the flame and add lemon juice to it. 

Serve hot rice or chapathi..


Enjoy Cooking !!!!
