Paruppu Keerai Masiyal - a warm and hearty south Indian stew; a pressure cooker masoor dal (red lentils) and spinach curry with simple aromatics; pairs well with rice or any Indian flat bread!

Instructions to make Paruppu keerai masiyal:
  1. In a pressure pan, layer washed and drained masoor dal, onions, garlic, chilies, turmeric and tomatoes. Add 1 ½ cups water and give it a good mix.
  2. Pressure cook for 2 whistles. - - Once the pressure drops, open the pan and stir in palak leaves.
  3. Mix well and cook on medium heat for about 5 minutes or until the leaves become soft and are slightly cooked. - - Stir in salt to taste and while on the stove, mash using a pav bhaji masher until the mixture is pulpy, and the dal and greens have mixed well. You can also blitz with an immersion blender (or regular blender) but I love to see flecks of greens in my curries! - - Add more water (1/2 to 1 cup) depending upon how thick or thin you want your curry.
  4. Keep simmering on medium low heat. - - Meanwhile, make the tempering or seasoning.
  5. TO MAKE THE SEASONING: - Heat oil/ghee in a small saucepan; once hot, add mustard seeds. - - As soon as the seeds splutter, stir in jeera and onions; sauté on medium heat until the onions are lightly brown. - - Add the curry leaves, hing and red chilies and fry for a few seconds.
  6. Add this tempering to the simmering dal.
  7. Serve hot Paruppu Keerai Masiyal with freshly steamed rice and a vegetable stir fry or even any Indian flat bread like roti, parathas, naan etc.! Enjoy!
  8. Notes - - Instead of masoor dal, you can use toor/split pigeon peas dal or even moong/mung bean dal. - - Use your favorite green leafy vegetable instead of palak. - - Adjust spices and consistency of curry according to personal preference
