Spinach-1 big bunch washed and chopped or frozen- 2cups

Red chilli-2(to taste. This is usually mild)
Turmeric powder-1/4 tsp(She did not mention but i usually use turmeric in all my cooking)
Urad dhal-1 tsp
Oil-1 tsp
Mustard- seasoning
Salt to taste
METHOD:
1)Pressure cook Dhal
2)Steam cook spinach or cook  in a pan with very little water.and cool.
3) Grind spinach  coarsely.
3).Dry fry urad, red chilli and jeera till urad turns golden brown and grind it  to paste along with coconut .
4)Heat a pan and add well cooked dhal ,spinach  paste and coconut paste and cook for few minutes. Add seasoning.Serve with rice or roti.
