Wash the chopped spinach and keep aside. Wash and drain the water from the dal. Heat the pressure cooker, add the chopped onions. On top of the onions, put the chopped garlic. Then add the tomatoes and the dry masala. Put the dal and spinach on top. Add 1/2 glass of water. Close the lid of the cooker and cook on pressure for 3 whistles. Simmer the gas and keep for 5 mins.
