Spinach is a healthy vegetable and i try to include it in as many dishes as possible, so the guilt part of having something that is tasty but not healthy is gone :-)
Ya ya i know the guilt part is very hard, so just try adding something healthy and ta da the guilt just vanished
R didnt like the way I cooked spinach earlier, he was the one who gave me this recipe. But later i added some more ingredients and now this is my Recipe.
While preparing spinach, the only thing that makes me sad is, it just reduces to so little. So i took some time to realize the before after volume and here is the recipe
Preparation Time - 5-6 mins
Ingredients (Serves 2)
Spinach - 250 gms
Urad Dal - 1 tsp
Mustard - 1 tsp
Green chilly - 1 large or 2 small
Pearl Onion - 3-4
Salt
Oil - 1 tbsp
Grated Coconut - 4-5 tsp
Chop the spinach, green chilly and pearl onion and keep aside
In a pan, when hot add oil, add the mustard seeds followed by urad dal once it splutters.
Add the green chilly and pearl onions and saute till it changes color to light brown
I usually put salt at this stage as it helps the sauteing of onion. Take care to add very little salt as the spinach will reduce a lot, so infact you need very little salt
Now add the spinach and keep it in medium heat. Check after 2-3 mins and you will see that the spinach has reduced to half. Now give it a stir so that the salt mixes well. Again leave it for 1-2 mins when its allmost done completely.
Add the grated coconut and mix it well. Do a taste test and add salt if needed. Mix well and leave for 1-2 mins and its done
Wow..
Serve with hot rice
Try and let me know how it went for you
Happy Eating
