INDIAN LENTIL CURRY WITH SPINACH
Steps:
- Combine the lentils, water and turmeric in a pot big enough to hold the spinach.
- Bring to a simmer and cook, covered, until the lentils disintegrate, about 40 minutes. Add a bit more water if needed. You are going for a thick puree consistency.
- Heat a skillet over medium heat.
- Add the oil. When the oil starts to shimmer, add the onion and cook until the edges of the onions start to brown.
- Stir in the green chili and garlic ginger paste and cook until the sputtering stops.
- Add the spice mix and cook for about 30 seconds, stirring constantly. This is the critical step. You don't want your spices to burn.
- Add the tomato paste and stir. Turn the heat down and let it simmer 3-4 minutes.
- Stir the tempering into the lentils. Add the salt and taste.
- Mix in the spinach, a bit at a time, letting it wilt into the dal. When all the spinach has been mixed in, cover and let simmer 5 minutes.
- Adjust the salt and serve. You are going to need more. For sure. So creep up on it. Add a bit. Stir. Taste. Add some more. Keep going until you get it where you want it.

Steps:
- Rinse the lentils until the water runs clear. Combine lentils, boiling water, 1 teaspoon salt and 1 tablespoon oil to a pot. Simmer on medium heat with lid tilted for 20 to 25 minutes or until tender and most of the water is cooked out. The lentils will have a mushy texture when cooked.

- Add tomatoes, sautéing 5 minutes or until they become soft and begin to break apart. Add in spinach, folding into sauce until wilted. Stir in turmeric and chili powder and continue to simmering for an additional 30 seconds to infuse the sauce with spices.
- Gently fold lentils into the sauce until well combined.
- Stir in coconut milk and lemon juice and bring to a gentle simmer.
- Stir in remaining 1 teaspoon salt and continue to simmer on low for 5 minutes.

RED CURRY LENTILS WITH SWEET POTATOES AND SPINACH
In this vegetarian main inspired by Indian dal, lentils are cooked with an aromatic blend of Thai spices - fresh ginger, turmeric, red curry paste and chile - then simmered in coconut milk until fall-apart tender. Browning the sweet potatoes before cooking them with the lentils brings out their sweetness, balancing the heat from the chile and curry paste, while baby spinach tossed in just before serving adds fresh flavor. Serve over steamed white or brown rice, or with toasted flatbread on the side.

Steps:
- In a Dutch oven or pot, heat 2 tablespoons olive oil over medium-high. Add the sweet potatoes and cook, stirring occasionally, until browned all over, 5 to 7 minutes. Transfer the browned sweet potatoes to a plate and set aside.

RED LENTIL, TOMATO AND SPINACH SOUP
This is an Indian dish high in Iron. I found this on line and tweeked a bit. Both tomatoes and spinach are good sources of iron. They complement each other. Not in just taste but work together to help the body absorb the iron.
