Hi,
My name is Mahalakshmi. I am married to a wonderful husband Raghu who is a software consultant. I have two kids Vignesh- 5 yrs and Arvind - 16 months old. Most people do not like spinach though it is considered to be a healthy vegetable. But after trying my recipe, I am sure most of you would start liking it.

Spinach Dhal
Ingredients
300 gms of chopped spinach
1/4 cup of Moong Dhal (also called "Paithamparuppu")
2 medium sized tomatoes (cut into pieces)
3-4 green chillies (cut into two vertically)
2 tsp cummin seeds
2/3 tsp grated coconut
Salt to taste
Pinch of Baking Soda
Method :
- In a vessel, pour 2 cups of water and add the moong dhal.
- After a few minutes, when the dhal is half cooked, add the chopped
spinach, tomatoes, green chillies and baking soda.
- Blend the cummin seeds and grated coconut into a fine paste by adding
water and keep it aside.
- Once the spinach is well cooked add the cummin seeds + coconut mixture
and stir it until the mixture is all well blended.
- If you feel that the spinach is too much watery, take some rice flour
and mix it with water and add it to the spinach. This will turn the watery
spinach into a thicker consistency.
Spinach Dhal goes well with "Vetral Kozhambu" which is one the specialties
of South Indian cooking.
