Collard Greens with Dal

I have some left over leaves from my collard greens bunch. Now a days , I made myself not to waste.Usually for any new greens/keerai, I used to add some dal with cumin seeds. I like the flavor of cumin & pepper. Sometimes I add pepper too...(some of you may say , what? pepper in the greens!? you crazy...!) But in this recipe I didn't.....
