Palanga Sagha Ghanta (Dal Palak)

Dal palak










One of Odisha's favourite home made Recipe. We almost use all types of green leaves for this curry. But I love the combination with drumstick leaves.
This is known saago ghanto.
Moong Dal or toor Dal choices is totally dependent on mood.
Today I combine palak with toor Dal.
Take a look.....

 Ingredients:

 1 cup Toor Dal
2 cup water
1 tsp Termeric powder
1 Bunch Spinach
15 Garlic cloves
1 tsp cumin seeds
½ tsp Mustard seeds
2 Dry red chillies
Salt

Presentations :

 Wash and rinse thoroughly under water. Transfer to pressure cooker, add the measured water, termeric powder and cook on low flame till one whistle.
Allow the pressure to release naturally .
Once it cool down remove the Dal in a plate and keep aside.Do not stir the Dal.
Heat the oil in a kadhai over medium heat until foaming. Add the garlic fry till light brown, add red chillies,cumin , mustard seeds stirring occasionally until they leave fragrance. Now add Chopped spinach, season with salt, and cook, stirring occasionally, until the spinach is completely wilted and dry.
