500g spinach, rinsed and chopped
30g ghee
1 onion, chopped
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon mustard seed
1 teaspoon garam masala

Rinse dal and soak for 20 minutes.
In a large pan, bring water to the boil and stir in salt, dal, turmeric and chilli powder. Cover and return to the boil, then reduce heat to low and simmer for 15 minutes. Stir in the spinach and cook 5 minutes, or until dal is soft. Add more water if necessary.
