Steps:
- Put the dal in a medium-sized pot with 5 cups of water. Bring to a boil, skimming the foam that rises to the top. Once it boils, stir in the turmeric and cover partially, occasionally stirring. Cook for 75 minutes, being careful to check and stir a few times after 60 minutes. Stir in the salt when the dal is done.
- While the dal cooks, heat the ghee in a frying pan over medium heat. Add the mustard and cumin seeds. Stir for 30 seconds and then add the onion. Saute 5-6 minutes or until the onion starts to brown.
- Add the garlic, ginger, and green chili and cook for another 1-2 minutes.
- Add the spinach and 1/2 cup water. Bring to a boil and cover. Cook until the spinach wilts, around 8-10 minutes.
- When the dal is done cooking, add the spinach mixture to it and combine. If the dal feels too dry, stir in a bit of water to a consistency of your liking. Adjust salt to taste.

FAVORITE INDIAN LENTILS AND SPINACH (DAL PALAK)
Known as dal palak in India, this much-loved everyday meal involves cooking lentils very simply with a little turmeric and spinach, then giving them a big flavor boost with a tarka - an infusion of spices and ghee (clarified butter). It's Indian comfort food at its best. The recipe is a Yummly original created by [Prerna Singh](https://www.yummly.com/dish/author/Prerna-Singh).

Steps:
- Rinse the lentils well in a fine strainer under running water. Coarsely chop the spinach.
- Transfer the lentils and spinach in a medium to large saucepan and add the water, salt, and turmeric. Bring to a boil over high heat. Cover, reduce heat to low, and cook, stirring occasionally, until lentils are tender, about 45 minutes. Remove from heat.
- Mince the garlic. Heat the ghee in a small saucepan over medium heat. Reduce heat and add the asefetida, if using, and cumin seeds. As soon as they begin to sputter, add the garlic. Cook garlic until it begins to turn golden, about 1 minute. Add the chilies, paprika, and garam masala and briefly stir. Turn the heat off and pour the tarka (spiced ghee) over the dal. Stir well.
- Chop the cilantro, if using. Scatter it over dal and serve with basmati rice if you like.

INDIAN LENTIL CURRY WITH SPINACH
Steps:
- Combine the lentils, water and turmeric in a pot big enough to hold the spinach.
- Bring to a simmer and cook, covered, until the lentils disintegrate, about 40 minutes. Add a bit more water if needed. You are going for a thick puree consistency.
- Heat a skillet over medium heat.
- Add the oil. When the oil starts to shimmer, add the onion and cook until the edges of the onions start to brown.
- Stir in the green chili and garlic ginger paste and cook until the sputtering stops.
- Add the spice mix and cook for about 30 seconds, stirring constantly. This is the critical step. You don't want your spices to burn.
- Add the tomato paste and stir. Turn the heat down and let it simmer 3-4 minutes.
- Stir the tempering into the lentils. Add the salt and taste.
- Mix in the spinach, a bit at a time, letting it wilt into the dal. When all the spinach has been mixed in, cover and let simmer 5 minutes.
- Adjust the salt and serve. You are going to need more. For sure. So creep up on it. Add a bit. Stir. Taste. Add some more. Keep going until you get it where you want it.

CHANA DAL (YELLOW LENTILS) WITH SPINACH
Chana dal (or bengal gram) is my favorite variety of lentil, and together with spinach with a wonderful blend of spices in this dish, makes for a very wholesome, nourishing meal.Prep time does not include time for pre-soaking lentils. (Note: this is a rather dry lentil dish, if you prefer the more wet, soupy variety then you could opt for another recipe with chana dal that I have posted: #83985)

Steps:
- Wash lentils and allow to soak in water at least an hour before use (I usually let mine soak overnight).
- Drain the lentils, place in a large pot with enough water to cover the lentils, bring to a boil and let simmer for 20-30 minutes until the lentils have softened (you may use additional water to do this).
- Cook uncovered to let the cooking liquid evaporate - but be careful not to overcook such that they become mushy.
- Heat oil, add bay leaves and cinnamon, and then fry mustard seeds till they sputter, then add onion, ginger, garlic and chili and fry a further 5 minutes.
- Add spinach and cook for 10 minutes or until spinach is dry and liquid has been absorbed.
- Stir in the remaining spices and salt and cook for 3-4 minutes.
- Finally add the lentils, stir and cook a further 5 minutes.
