spinach stir-fry
I love most varities of Indian greens especially palak and methi. I like the stir-fry (upkaris) anyday better than the curries. This upkari is one of my favourites and goes great with any simple daal/rasam etc.
Ingredients
- Spinach (washed and chopped) - 2 cups
- Urad daal (black gram)- 1.5 teaspoons
- Onions(cut into small pieces) - 1 small size
- Grated coconut - 2 tablespoons
- Red chillies - 2
- Oil
- Salt to taste
Method
- Heat some oil in a kadai and add the urad daal.
- When the urad daal starts to change colour, add the red chillies broken into 2 pieces each and onions.
- Fry for 5 mins on low flame and then add the spinach. Keep stirring on low flame.
- After 5 mins, add some salt and grated coconut. Cook on low flame stirring frequently. In another 5 mins, the upkari must be done. It will taste yummy.
Note: Do not add too much of salt. No water is required as palak + salt will discharge some water
Preparation time: 20 minutes
