Spinach and Moon Dal Badi /Vadi - What a yummy stir fry

B

efore marriage I din't like the taste of both the main ingredients here. I used to skip my meals when spinach or badi was in the menu. My mom and sis can't believe that I'm cooking with these now a days and I should say that this is my new favourite.

Ingredients:

Spinach chopped - 2 cups

Ginger grated - 1 tsp

Garlic - 2-3 cloves

Moon Dal Badiya - 3/4 cup

Salt - 3/4 tsp

Turmeric powder - 1/2 tsp

Chilli powder - 1/2 tsp

Coriander powder - 1 tsp

Garam masala - 1/2 tsp

Cumin seeds - 1/2 tsp

Hing - 1/8 tsp

Tomato - 2 medium size

Oil - 1 tbsp

Method:

Break the Moon dal Badiya placing them in between kitchen towel. Chop and wash the spinach. Heat oil in a pan.  Add cumin seeds. When seeds splutter, add hing. Add ginger and chopped garlic. Add badiya and roast them until golden brown. Add all the ingredients except tomatoes and garam masala. Mix it well. Leave it on medium heat for 8 min or until all the water from spinach evaporates. Stir occasionally. Cut 1 tomato into small cubes and add into the stir fry. Cover for 2 min. Add garam masala in the end and garnish with another tomato.
