Cooking instructions

* Step 1

Soak the moth beans overnight or for 6-7 hours. Pressure cook the soaked moth beans and both the spinach and jute leaves together with enough whey water or water for 4-5 whistles and let the pressure release by itself or you can slow cook it too, once Dal gets cooked add both the greens and cook for 5-10 minutes. While the Dal gets cooked prepare other ingredients as listed above.

* Step 2

Heat oil in a kadai, add the whole dry Chilli and bay leaf and then add the onion and saute it, when it about to start turning brown, add in the ginger garlic paste and saute it. Add Cummin and coriander powder, turmeric and Chilli powder too. Add little whey water or water to prevent the spices from burning and bhunno it further.

* Step 3

Add the tomato and bhunno it, add salt too. Cook till the oil seperates from the gravy. In the process add the kasuri Methi too after rubbing between your palm. Add in the cooked Dal and cook further for another 20-30 minutes, till the Dal thickens up and flavor gets infused. Check consistency of the Dal, adjust accordingly. Check salt. Heat ghee in a pan, add the chopped garlic and Chilli, when it starts browning or browns a bit add it to the Dal and cover it. Serve hot !
