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.
