Methi / fenugreek greens in mixed dal with heeng ka tadka!

You can also use palak / spinach. I have tried with both using a mix of dals- toor/ arhar, green and yellow mung, and masoor.

Ingredients-
Daal(toor/masoor/mung or a mixture of all of them) 1 cup
1 Onion chopped
Fenugreek(methi) leaves or Spinach (palak) 1 cup
1 tsp ginger garlic paste
1/2 tsp turmeric
Salt to taste
Mustard oil / ghee- 1 tsp
Cumin / mustard seeds and hing for tempering

You can skip onion and ginger-garlic if you so wish, and can even add one chopped tomato.

Directions-
Add daal and greens with the chopped onion, tomato, ginger garlic paste, salt and turmeric to the pressure cooker. Cook for one whistle and simmer for 2 mins.
Heat ghee/ oil in a tempering ladle, add the tempering, turn off gas and add heeng / asafoetida (be careful and do not add more than a pinch!or you will spoil the taste)
Serve hot with rice / as side dish with rotis.
