Ingredients Serving: 6

1 ½ Coffee Cup Green Mung Dal (I used the broken Dal not the full beans)
1 bunch of Kale
2 Tomatoes finely chopped
2 Garlic cloves finely chopped
1 tsp Cumin seeds
2 dry red Chillies
1 tsp Red chilli powder
1 tsp Amchur powder/Chat masala or you can drizzle some Lemon Juice on top of the dal before serving
1 tsp Turmeric powder
Salt to taste
Ghee as per your taste

Instructions

Wash the Dal under cold running water. Add it in a pressure cooker or a bowl, add Salt, Turmeric powder and 3 cups water. Cook the Dal till it is done. I pressure cooked it for 5 whistles.
Heat water in a large pan, chop the Kale and boil it in the hot water gently for around 7 – 10 minutes. The stalks of the Kale can be bitter. Hence, I blanched it for longer. Drain all the water away and let the Kale cool down till the Dal is done.
Heat oil in a pan, add the Cumin Seeds, Garlic and dry red chillies. Now insert the tomatoes and cook till mushy
Add the cooked Dal and mix well. You may need to add a cup of water depending on the kind of consistency you want.
Add the Kale and bring the Dal to a boil. Cook on a gentle flame for 5 – 10 minutes before turning off the heat.
Add the Amchur powder or chat masala and mix well.
