Description

Simple flavors, easy and one-pot recipe of not your usual lentil curry. Great choice for no-meat entree along with rice or bread.

Ingredients

  • 1 Tablespoon Olive Oil
  • 1 teaspoon Clarified Butter (optional)
  • 2 whole Cloves
  • 1 whole Black Cardamom, Crushed
  • ¼ sticks Cinnamon
  • 2 teaspoons Salt
  • 1 teaspoon Cumin Seeds
  • ¼ teaspoons Asafetida
  • ½ cups Onion, Thinly Sliced
  • ¼ cups Tomatoes Thinly Sliced
  • ½ cups Spinach
  • ½ cups Yellow Lentils
  • ½ cups Pigeon Pea Lentils
  • 1 Tablespoon Green Chilies, Chopped
  • 1-½ cup Water

Preparation

You will also need a medium size pressure cooker, crockpot, or a large pot with a lid.

Heat the pressure cooker over medium heat. Add oil and butter. Add the spices and sauté for 30 seconds. Add onion and sauté for 2 minutes, till onions are golden in color. Add tomato and sauté for 2 minutes.

Reduce the heat to its lowest setting. Add spinach and sauté for another 2 minutes. Add both the lentils and sauté for 2 more minutes.

Add green chilies and water and pressure cook on high till you hear 3-4 whistles, and then switch off the heat. Wait for 2-3 minutes for the steam in the pressure cooker to reduce completely before opening.

Serve hot.
