I wanted to post this receipe for long time, here it is...

Spinach Curry:

1 bunch of spinach
Garlic pods - 6 or 7
Toor dal - 1 cup
Onion - 1
Red chillies - 3
Raw Peanuts - 1/2 cup
Tumeric powder
Chilli powder - half tsp
Corianer powder - 1 tsp
Salt

For Tempering:
Mustard Seeds
Urad dal
Jeera

Method:

Cut spinach leaves. Slice Garlic Pods. Take a bowl, add toor dal, add water till toor dal submerges well.
Cook the toor dal for about 15 mins. Then, add spinach leaves(it will look like as if it is occupying the full bowl space, add little water and leave for 5 mins it will shrink),
garlic pods to toor dal and cook till toor dal is slightly mashable.
Then, keep it aside to cool down.

In a wok, add oil, add mustard seeds, as usual, let is splutter, add urad dal, jeer, red chillies, peanuts. Now, add finely chopped onion, fry till it turns transparent...
Add turmeric powder, chilli powder, coriander powder and fry for a minute
Meanwhile, grind the spinach+toor dal+garlic mixture, no need to grind it to fine paste, just one round of grinding is enough.
Add the ground spinach mix to wok and mix well. Cook for about 10 mins.
Thats it yummy spinach curry is ready. Server with hot rice.

Hope you all like this. Enjoy.

Guys, I have a very good news.
Kugan called me to say that, she will be home by the 26th.
Well we have a wedding in Kuala Lumpur, our dear niece is getting married.

Well it is a sad story, she got engaged on the 2nd of December 2012.
Her father passed away on the 5th of December.
I heard Kugan told me, how the happy atmosphere suddenly turned to grieve.

The wedding is on as planned, on the 2nd of March, in the Maha Mariamman Temple, K.L
Kugan wants me to come to the wedding to give moral support to the family.
So guys, I have to make the preparations.
So please excuse me if I am not around.
Thanks and take care guys. Meerra
