Lentil with spinach

My friend is coming over with her family on the 4th of July.. so thought of getting a headstart on cooking. Since her daughter is allergic to a lot of food, my options were very limited. One of the few things she can have is lentil (masoor daal). This is a very simple recipe and a family favorite.

What I needed:

• 1 cup lentil (masoor) daal
• 1/2 cup spinach (I used frozen organic spinach)
• 1/4 cup chopped cilantro
• 1tsp cumin seeds
• 1tsp olive oil
• 1 green chilli
• Salt to taste

I use a pressure cooker to cook it.

How I made it:

• Heated oil in the pressure cooker
• Added the cumin seeds and green chilli
• Added the lentil once the cumin seeds started spluttering and stirred it a bit
• Added water (around 1 1/4cup)
• Added salt
• Added the spinach and chopped cilantro to it
• Pressure cooked for about 15mins till it was done.

This pairs up well with both chapati and rice.
