1. Wash lentils and allow to soak in water at least an hour before use (I usually let mine soak overnight). 2. Drain the lentils, place in a large pot with enough water to cover the lentils, bring to a boil and let simmer for 20-30 minutes until the lentils have softened (you may use additional water to do this). 3. Cook uncovered to let the cooking liquid evaporate - but be careful not to overcook such that they become mushy. 4. Heat oil, add bay leaves and cinnamon, and then fry mustard seeds till they sputter, then add onion, ginger, garlic and chili and fry a further 5 minutes. 5. Add spinach and cook for 10 minutes or until spinach is dry and liquid has been absorbed. 6. Stir in the remaining spices and salt and cook for 3-4 minutes. 7. Finally add the lentils, stir and cook a further 5 minutes. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
