Instructions
- Chop the spinach coarsely and wash it well in water.
- Heat about 4-5 cups of water and blanch the spinach for a couple of minutes.
- Remove the spinach form hot water and immediately rinse it under cold water.
- Put the spinach in a blender or food processor and coarsely grind it.. ( I like the taste of the coarse spinach in my mouth wen i eat it... :-))
- Heat some oil in a vessel, add the jeera and let it splutter.
- Grind the tomatoes and onions and keep them aside.
- Once the jeera splutters and becomes light brown, add the ginger garlic paste. Cook it for for about a min so that it loses the raw smell.
- Add the chopped potatoes, tomato and onion puree and cook it till the potatoes are 80% cooked. (cook this with the lid closed on the vessel)
- Once the potatoes are 80% cooked, add the ground spinach, salt, turmeric, chilli powder and cook with the lid open for some more time.
- Once the sabzi is dry and cooked, add about a tbsp of curd and mix it well and cook this for another minute.
- Once the sabzi is semi dry, garnish it with finely chopped coriander leaves and serve hot with soome rotis, salad and lemon
