After 10-15 minutes of boiling, add the salt and cook further. When the Dal is Cooked by 90% add the spinach and cook further. Add hot water as and when needed to cook and to make the Dal of your desired consistency. Blend it with the hand wooden blender/ Dal Ghotni.

Once the Dal is ready. Heat ghee in a pan, add the red dry Chilli and Cummin seeds, once it starts crackling add the chopped onion and once it starts browning add it to the prepared Dal. Put some Dal on the tempering pan also and again put it back to the Dal (pot), it will get more flavour and close the Dal with a lid so that it retains the aroma of the tempering.
