Measure the dal and wash it thoroughly with clean water. Keep it aside.
In a pressure cooker put the ghee and heat on medium heat.
Drop the cumin and garlic in the ghee and let it crackle.
Now add the turmeric or Haldi powder, red chilly powder, and saute on low heat for a minute only.
Add the washed dal and stir for a minute.
Add the chopped spinach and stir some more.
Now add one and a half glasses of water and close the cooker.
If you are using a thick-bottomed covered pan, then double the water and cook on low heat for about 20 mins.
Close the cooker and after one whistle lowers the heat and let the dal simmer for about five to seven minutes.
Once all the steam is released open the cooker, stir the dal gently.
Serve yourself in a bowl and garnish with chopped coriander, before devouring it all up.
