Preparation steps

1.

Rinse beans and chickpeas and soak covered with water for 2 hours. Rinse lentils thoroughly.

2.

Blanch tomatoes, rinse, peel, quarter and remove seeds, and cut into small cubes.

3.

Heat ghee in a large saucepan, add ground spices and sesame seeds and sauté until fragrant. Stir in beans, chickpeas, and lentils and continue to sauté until warmed. Cover with about 1 liter (approximately 4 1/4 cups) of water and add bay leaf. Simmer over medium heat until dal is soft, stirring occasionally. If dal becomes too thick, add a little more water as desired. When legumes are tender, add spinach and tomatoes.  Stir in cashews and season with salt to taste.
