Ingredients

1 bowl of  split yellow lentil (moong dal) soaked for about two hours and drained 
1 cucumber peeled and chopped into small pieces
2 leaves of spinach chopped fine
1 green chilli
Fresh coriander chopped fine
Salt to taste
A squeeze of lime

Method

Mix all the above in a mixing bowl except the chilli, now make a tempering with 1 tsp of oil, mustard seeds, asafoetida, turmeric and chillies. Add this to the mixture mix well and serve. You can actually add salt just before serving since it may become watery if added before.
