Ingredients ½ cup whole moong daal (green) 1 tsp cumin seeds 2 tbsp grated ginger 1 red onion, chopped 1 bay leaf 1 tomato, diced 2 tbsp olive oil 1 tbsp turmeric powder 1 bunch fresh spinach, coarsely chopped 3 cups water 1 tbsp garam masala Salt and pepper to taste
Method
Wash the daal thoroughly and keep aside. In a pressure cooker heat olive oil and add cumin seeds and bay leaf. When the seeds splutter, add ginger and onion and keep stirring until they are golden brown. Then add turmeric and tomatoes. When tomatoes are tender, add the rest of the ingredients. Close the cooker with the whistle. With the first whistle simmer the heat and cook for another forty five minutes. When the steam is settled, open and mix the daal well and serve with rice or simply as a soup. Enjoy!

Harnessing Mindfulness Good Morning Parmjit I apologize for taking so long in contacting you. I wanted to let you know that the evaluations sheets we handed out after you did the session for our Divisional Day (way back in October) were all excellent. Every single staff person who attended your session was very pleased with it. They all found it very relaxing and said that they would enjoy a further session and recommend you to other departments who were having a department day similar to the one you presented your session at.
Also, I should mention that you may in the very near future hear from one of my co-workers asking you to do a session for our individual team. She is working on the logistics with our manager to see what we can do about having you come to one of our meetings.
Once again, I want to thank you for the wonderful session you did for us and wish you the best in 2009.
