ONE-POT SPINACH DAL

Ingredients:

• 3 tablespoons high heat oil
• 1 teaspoon cumin seeds
• 1 teaspoon mustard seeds
• 1 yellow onion, diced
• 2 jalapeños, cored and diced
• 2-inches fresh ginger, peeled and minced
• 3 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 teaspoon turmeric
• 1/2 teaspoon coriander
• 1/4 teaspoon cayenne
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 (15 ounce) can of diced tomatoes, drained
• 1 cup dry yellow split peas, soaked in water*
• 3 and 1/2 cups water
• 10 ounces spinach leaves, roughly chopped
• fresh cilantro for topping
• whole grain naan and brown basmati rice for serving

Directions:

1. In a large pot, warm the oil over medium-high heat. 
2. Being careful to stand back as the oil will likely splatter, add the cumin and mustard seeds and allow to cook until they start to crackle and change color, for 10-15 seconds.
3. Add the diced onion, jalapenos, fresh ginger, and garlic along with the turmeric, coriander, cayenne and salt then stir together. 
4. Pour in the drained diced tomatoes and continue to cook over medium-high heat until they start to break down, for about 10 minutes. Mash them with the back of a spoon until they are macerated.
