Lentil gravy is a comfort food for me and this is a simple dish with red lentils and spinach. The gravy goes well with rice or flat bread and is perfect for week nights since it is a one pot dish. I have used a pressure cooker, but since red lentils cook pretty fast, you can use any vessel. Off to the recipe.
