Ingredients

1/2 box / 4 cups spinach, chopped
1/2 cup Channa daal / Toor Daal
1/4 tsp Turmeric powder
2 cloves Garlic, chopped
1/2 of medium sized purple onion, chopped

1/2 tsp Mustard seeds
1/2 tbsp Coconut oil
1 Spring Curry leaves

Directions

1. Pressure cook the daal with turmeric powder, salt and just enough water to cover the daal. Wash and drain spinach. I usually wash and drain them by putting it in a salad spinner to remove the maximum water from spinach.
2. Heat coconut oil in a skillet and add mustard seeds. When it splutters, add chopped onion, curry leaves and garlic. Saute till onion is translucent. Now add the crushed red chili flakes and give it a quick stir fry. Add grated coconut and combine well. 
3. Add spinach and stir fry for 3-5 minutes in medium - high flame. Do not cover with a lid.
