Simplest Spinach Recipe I know

Spinach is a frequent member or our regular meals and I like experimenting new recipe's with Spinach. You must like the spinach taste to like this dish as it does not have any spicy taste . It is certainly on my list of healthy and nutirtious menu options.

Ingredients :

Spinach - Coarsely chopped

2 green chillies- chopped

4-5 garlic cloves finely chopped

oil, mustard seeds, turmeric powder, asaphoetida(hing) and salt

Heat some oil in a pan. Add mustard seeds and wait till they start spluttering. Add a little turmeric powder and asaphoetida followed by chopped garlic cloves and green chillies. Keep stiring for a minute or two. Finally add chopped spinach and mixit well. Cook with continuous stirring till the spinach changes color to blackish green.

Serve with fresh chapatti's :).

I had some leftover rice and no dal so I decided to mix rice with the spinach recipe and named the new dish as palak rice.

Egg Curry

Recently I happened to relish different versions of egg curry at different friends places. And today when I ran out of veggie's I decided to try a new version of my own. I am sharing a kind of flexible recipe here leaving you to adjust it to your taste.

Ingredients : 4 eggs boiled. 1 big onion, Few green chillies Tomatoes - finely chopped or puree Cumin seeds(Jeera) Salt , Turmeric Powder , Garam masala Cilantro,Ginger-Garlic Paste Curd/Milk Oil
1>Heat Oil in a vessel and add cumin seeds
2>Add Onion chilli paste(Only Onion and green chilli ground to paste) and ginger garlic paste . Fry for few mins. onion paste needs to be fried till it gets brown to make sure onion is cooked.
add turmeric powder and tomato puree. again fry till tomatoes are fried properly.
3>Add some garam masala and salt to taste. Add some water to adjust consistency.
4>Add 2 tbsp of Curd. If you do not want the curry to taste sour then add milk or cream instead.
5> Remove the yellow bulk from the boiled eggs and add the white part scrambled to this gravy and cook for few minutes. Serve the yellow part seperately so that everyone can add it as they like. The egg yellow part is fatty and members in my family prefer to limit the consumption of egg yellow. Hence following the tradition I also removed it and served seperately.
6> Garnish with fresh chopped cilantro and serve with chapatti/paratha's or even stemed rice.
