This is my staple diet .. and pretty cost effective too. Doesn’t matter which country I stay in .. this is pretty much constant in my diet 🙂 … coupled with Papad (crisp Indian waffer) and pickles 😀

The recipe:

• Boil lentils or linsen in a covered vessel or pressure cooker till it becomes very soft
• In a deep pot, heat some oil
• Add cummin seeds
• Add chopped garlic and onions
• Saute for 5 min
• Add the softened and boiled lentils
• Add turmeric powder and salt to taste
• Add a spoon of sugar
• Boil for 5 min
• Add Spinach puree
• Boil for 5 more minutes
• Serve on boiled Basmati rice

Voila!
