This is a flavorful and easy dish to go with steamed rice from.Its actually a Palakkad Iyer dish.Here the greens are ground to a paste and mixed with dal and some ground spices.Paired with steamed rice and some crispies / pappad , its a hearty meal....
I used :
Spinach -1 large bunch,roughly chopped
Toor dhal-3/4 cup
Red chillies-2
Mustard -1 teaspoon
Coconut oil -1 teaspoon
Salt to taste
Roast with 1 teaspoon oil and powder :
Urad dhal-2 teaspoons
Grated coconut-4 tablespoon
Cumin seeds-1 teaspoon
Red chillies-2
- Pressure cook dal mash well and keep aside..
- Cook the spinch with a little water till it starts to wilt.Cool and puree.
- In a pan put in the mashed dal,pureed spinach,ground masala,salt,enough water to bring it to a pouring consistency.Mix well to avoid lumps.
- Bring to a boil and simmer for a couple of minutes.
- Transfer to a serving dish.
- Heat oil in a small pan and put in mustard seeds,red chillies.
- When the mustard pops pour over the greens.
- Mix and serve
This is a very simple recipe that can be put together quickly.
