Method :

              Pressure cook Channa Dal with 4 cups of water with little turmeric. Heat oil in a pan. Add cumin seeds and let them crackle. Add the chopped onion and green chilies to the pan. Saute them well. Add garlic-ginger paste . Once the raw smell goes, add tomatoes and salt. Once the tomatoes are well cooked and oil starts to ooze out to the sides, add the chopped Swiss Chard . Let it cook for few minutes and then add all the powders to the gravy.  Once the pressure is released, take out the Dal and add it to the gravy along with the boiled potatoes. Add more water if necessary. Add butter and crushed kasoori methi  at the end and switch off the stove.
