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.

Peel the skin and cut carrot and potato into cubes or medium sized pieces. Cut brinjal also into medium sized pieces.

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.

Add chopped tomatoes, brinjal, carrot, potatoes, spinach, bengal gram, turmeric powder, salt needed, chilli powder and 3/4 cup of water.

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.

Serve piping hot with rotis or steamed rice or a simple pulao.

Note – Those who do not have a cooker can do it in a pan, but will take a longer time.
