How to Make Spinach Dhal

• In a vessel, pour 2 cups of water and add the moong dal.
• After a few minutes, when the dal gets half cooked, add the chopped spinach, tomatoes, green chillies and baking soda.
• Blend the cumin seeds and grated coconut into a fine paste by adding water and keep it aside.
• Once the spinach is well cooked, add the cumin seeds and coconut mixture and stir it until the mixture is well blended.
• If you feel that the spinach is too watery, take some rice flour and mix it with water. Add it to the spinach.
• This will turn the watery spinach into a thicker consistency.
• Serve with rice.
