Palak/Keerai/ Cheera is one of the comfort foods we enjoy on a veggie-day. My toddler loves this with a dollop of ghee with white rice and potato fry :). Very easy to make, healthy and tasty dish.

Serves : 3-4
What's in it:
- Toor dal/Pigeon peas : 1 cup
- Spinach ( I used Palak; any variety of spinach can be used) : 1 bunch
- Turmeric powder : 1/2 tsp
- Asafoetida : a pinch
- Green chillies : 2 split
- Salt : to taste
To temper :
- Mustard seeds: 1 tsp
- Cumin seeds : 1/2 tsp
- Red chillies dried : 2-3
Let's do it !
- Pressure cook the toor dal with 2-3 cups of water and turmeric powder for 2-3 whistles.
- Wash the spinach thoroughly in cold water till all the dirt is gone and it is clean.
- Chop the spinach discarding the stem/end part.
- Heat 1 tsp oil in a kadai, add the spinach and saute it till it gets wilted a bit.
- Add the cooked and mashed toor dal into this, mix well, add required amount of water and salt.
- Add green chilies and asafoetida to this.
- In a small kadai, temper the ingredients under 'to temper' in a spoon of oil. Pour this to the dal-spinach.
- Serve hot with rice, a dollop of ghee and any veggie side dish.
