Keerai Poricha Kootu

I have a bunch of delicious recipes from the fabulous Gita Iyer of Agraharam (YouTube) fame. I am noting them all down for my own reference.

Ingredients
Whole green moong dal - 1 cup
Urad dal - 2tsp
Red chilles (dry) 2
Black whole pepper 1/4 tsp
Shredded coconut - 1/2 cup
Spinach - 1 big bunch
Curry leaves - a few
Salt
Coconut oil

For tempering
Mustard - 1/2 tsp
Urad dal - 1 tsp
Coconut oil

Method:
1. Cook whole green moong dal for 15 minutes in pressure cooker.
2. Roast 2tsp urad dal and curry leaves in coconut oil till urad dal is well roasted (red/brown color).
3. Grind urad dal + curry leaves from above with raw coconut.
4. Cook spinach with a couple tablespoons of water and salt till it is wilted and cooked.
5. Add the cooked green moong dal to the cooked spinach and let it boil for 10 minutes.
6. Add the ground coconut mixture to the cooked spinach-moong dal and let it come to boil and switch off heat immediately. Adjust for salt if needed.
7. Temper with mustard and urad dal (no hing or curry leaves).
