Ingredients needed
Palak -2 cups chopped
Bengal gram-chana dal -1/4 cup
Onion -3/4 cup chopped
Ginger -1 inch piece
Green chilli -2
Tomato -1/4 cup chopped
Carrot -1 small
Brinjal -3/4 cup
Potato -1/2 cup or 1 medium
Turmeric powder -1/4 tsp
Chilli powder -1/2 tsp
Salt needed
For the seasoning
Oil -1 tbsp
Cumin seeds/jeera -1 tsp
Preparation
Wash and chop spinach. Finely chop green chillies and ginger.
Soak bengal gram (kadalai paruppu/chana dal) for 2 hours.
Method
Heat a tbsp of oil, add cumin seeds, when it splutters, add finely chopped onion, finely chopped ginger and green chillies.
Saute until onions turn transparent.
Pressure cook for 1 or 2 whistles. You can do everything directly in a cooker. (I did it in a kadai and then transferred to a cooker just to show you the pictures clearly)
Once the pressure subsides, open the cooker and mash the contents slightly.
Note – Those who do not have a cooker can do it in a pan, but will take a longer time.
