			SPINACH with MASOOR(MASUR)


			1 lb fresh spinach (chopped) or
			1 package frozen chopped spinach
			3/4 cup Masoor dhal
			1 teaspoon lemon juice
			1 teaspoon salt
			1/2 teaspoon red pepper powder
			2 tablespoons of butter

Wash and cook the dhal in 1 1/2 cups of water.  When the dhal becomes
soft, add spinach, salt, pepper and butter and cook at low heat
until spinach is done.  Before taking the pot off the stove, add
lemon juice and stir.  Dhal and spinach can be cooked together
in a pressure cooker for 5 minutes.  Do not add the salt before
dhal is cooked.  This, like other Indian dishes should be eaten
mixed with white rice.

P.S.  I add more salt since I like my food salty.  Salt and pepper
can be varied according to your taste.
