 For Tempering / Tadka /  Waghara

1 tbsp of Clarified Butter / Desi Ghee
1 tsp of Cumin Seeds / Jeera
1/2 tsp of Mustard Seeds / Rai
A Pinch of Hing / Asafoetida
2,3 cloves garlic in small pieces, if you like the taste of garlic. This is optional.
2 Dried Red Chillies, Whole ( or as per your taste )

Instructions

  1. Wash the Tuvar Dal properly. Rinse it  2 to 3 times and drain the water

2. Add the dal in a pressure cooker with chopped spinach, chopped tomato, green chilies ( if you want it spicy), 1/2 tsp turmeric powder, salt,  3 cups of water, and 1 tsp of oil.

3. Pressure cook the dal until 1 whistle on high/medium(around the middle) heat. After the first whistle, switch to medium heat.

4. Wait for 2 whistles on medium heat and then turn the knob to medium/low ( or in between). Wait for 5 minutes and then turn off the flame. ( There will be a total of 3 whistles)

5. Around 10 minutes of pressure will be released automatically. If not, then wait for a few extra minutes.

Preparing to  Temper(Tadka) :
6.  On a slow heat setting, heat some Desi Ghee in a small tadka pan or a big metal Spoon (chamcha). Add cumin and mustard seeds. When it starts crackling, add the asafoetida/Heeng and whole red chilies (the chilies are optional for if you like it spicy).

7. Submerse the tempering in the dal, and make sure to cover it while submerging, and let it simmer.
Open it after a minute and then add lemon juice and 1 tbsp of chopped coriander.

The Delicious Palak Dal Tadka is ready! Congratulations!

Serving Suggestion- Serve with steamed rice and roti.
