- Rinse the toor dal then soak it in sufficient water for about 30 minutes. Cook it. Heat oil in a heavy bottomed pot, add cumin seeds. Once it crackles add minced ginger and garlic, hing, slit green chillies, and dried red chillies. Add chopped onions, sauté until it turns translucent. Next, add chopped tomatoes, sauté until it turns mushy. Add chopped spinach, stir-fry until it wilts, about a minute. Add turmeric and red chilli powder, sauté for another 30 seconds. Now, add the cooked dal, and give everything a good mix. Add about 1 cup of water or as per desired consistency, bring to a boil. Check for seasonings and adjust accordingly. Simmer for another 5 minutes. Drizzle some lemon juice and mix well. Prepare the second tempering by heating oil in a small pan, add cumin seeds, when it crackles, add red chillies. Switch off the heat, add red chilli powder, mix well with the oil and pour it over the dal immediately. Mix it well with the dal, and serve hot with rice.
