Not bad....Arhar Dal and Karela, Bhindi and brinjal

The arhar dal was not bad. Dad liked it. So I am happy. I heated some oil (normal veg oil), lightly fried the dal, then added some turmeric and red chilly powder, and then water. I let it simmer for 15 20 mins, while I took my conf call. I took a break, added salt, some more water, and two semi crushed green cardamon, and let it simmer further while I got back to the call.Another break and then salt and some hing powder, and tomatoes.
When I was back from my call, my dal was done. Added some ghee and let it simmer for 5 minutes and then shut the gas.
The other subzi was simple. Chopped my bhindi, and some small brinjals. The bitter gourd was already chopped.
Heated mustard oil, added the bhindi and after 5 mins, the brinjal. I let that fry lightly then added the karela, little salt, turmeric and red chilly powder. After frying on high heat for a few mins, added little water, covered the pan, and lowered the heat. খাবার ready.
Stuff must have been good. Everything went off clean from the table. No left overs from last night.
Now to think - will it be spinach tonight (শাক ভাজা ) or will it be chicken. Let evening come. If the spinach is done tonight, I can finish that off, before the spinach leaves rot or dry off. The chicken can be eaten tomorrow. Or may be spinach and chicken both (separately). Lets see.
