Heat oil in a pan and put in the mustard seeds. Allow them to splutter. Now add in the chana dal, urad dal, cumin, curry leaves and turmeric. Add the onions. Keep mixing. Let the onions turn dark brown in color. Now add the chopped spinach and keep mixing. Do not cover because you will loose the flavour. When the spinach starts to come closer add in the red chilli powder, corriander powder and salt. Keep mixing. Switch off the flame when all the water from the spinach evaporates coming closer.Easy spinach curry is ready. Serve garnished with onions. Goes well with rice or rotis.
