Keerai Molagoottal step by step

1. Wash the spinach well. I generally soak them in hot water with turmeric & salt for couple of mins & wash them.
2. Wash the moong dal and put in a small bowl.
3. Pressure cook spinach for 2 whistles. You cant pressure cook the moong dal along with it, as it needs 3-4 whistles. I cook them along with rice in a small covered steel bowl so that they dont merge with rice..
4. Heat a little oil in a kadai and add mustard seeds, curry leaves to explode..
5. Add grated coconut, red chillies, cumin seeds, salt to taste in a small jar of mixie, and grind well with a little water to make it a paste.
6. Pour this mix into the kadai & turn down the flame to low, else the coconut will get all roasted..
7. In the same mixie jar, put small bunches of spinach. Make sure you dont stuff it, as it might spill then it grinds. Grind for less than 2 seconds. Do the same for rest of the cooked spinach, and add them into the kadai..
8. Turn up the flame, and let it bubble for couple of mins..
9. Done!.
