This is an authentic East Indian dish. This is best prepared in a pressure cooker. 

Ingredients
1 pound frozen or fresh spinach
1 cup Diced carrots
1/2 eggplant diced
1 chopped onion
3-4 chopped garlic
1 teaspoon grated ginger
1 can of tomatoes
1 green chili
1 potato peeled
half a cup of uncooked lentils
half a bunch of dill
1 Teaspoon Turmeric Powder
salt to taste
chili powder (optional) if you want it more spicy

Method:
Wash all the vegetables thoroughly.  Peel and chop the potatoes, onions, carrots, garlic.
Combine the spinach,vegetables and lentils into the pressure cooker. Pour in one can of tomatoes, add about half to one cup of water.  Add the turmeric powder, salt and optional chili powder.  Shut the pressure cooker lid and keep on medium fire.  Let it cook for about 15 minutes.  Shut off the stove and wait till all the pressure is released from the cooker. Open the lid carefully (again make sure all pressure is released), and mix everything together.  You can use a blender to mix it all up as well.  

Once it is all done, serve it with rice and yogurt garnished with fresh tomatoes or cucumber.
