minutes over a low heat.

5) Add the cumin and tomato, stir and cook for 3 to 4 minutes.

6) Add the water, bring to the boil, cover and simmer for 30 to 35
minutes, stirring occasionally.

7) Meanwhile, heat the oil over a medium heat and fry the mustard
seeds until they pop.

8) Add the garlic and allow it to turn slightly brown.

9) Add the dried red chillies, then the spinach, stir and mix
thoroughly. Cover the pan and simmer for 5 minutes.

10) Add the spinach to the dhal, cover and cook over a low heat for 10

Serve with rice, parathas/rotis. Kebabs, tandoori chicken accompany
