Moong daal & Spinach curry

Moong dal comes in a variety of colours.One can buy it in any Indian stores where it is readily available.For this recipe I am using split skin off yellow daal.you can use any kind of spinach fresh or frozen.Fresh one tastes better.I used the salad spinach leaves for preparing this.I made this yesterday, which happens to be St.Patrick's day celebrated by Irish people wearing or eating something green.Although I donot celebrate this festival I felt like I made it on a perfect day...something green for dinner.


Here is the recipe

Salad spinach -1bag
Moong dal -1/4 cup
Ginger & garlic -1tbs
Onion-1/2 of big bulb
Green chillies -2 or 3
Garam masala powder-1tsp
Red chilly flakes -1tsp
Turmeric -1tsp
Oil -2-3 tbs
Salt to taste.

Soak the moong dal for an hour or so before start cooking.wash and chop the spinach.Finely chop onion and split cut the green chillies.Heat the oil in a skillet and fry the onions until they start changing color.Now add Ginger & garlic paste, Green chillies,garam masala powder,turmeric,red chilly powder and fry for sometime then add the soaked moondal and saute for sometime.Finally add chopped spinach and salt and cover the lid. Keep mixing in between and let it cook until the water gets all soaked up and all dal and spinach incorporate each other.
Savor this curry with roti or plain rice.It's very healthy and good source of  vitamins.
