Khada Desi Palak-By Chef Surjan Singh Jolly

Khada Desi Palak.

Ingredients:
 
300 g baby spinach
 
2 Tbsp canola oil
 
1 Tbsp garlic, chopped
 
1 tsp green chilli, chopped
 
Salt to taste
 
1 Tbsp ginger, sliced
 
1 fresh red chilli, sliced
 
3-4 garlic cloves, sliced
 
1 tsp cumin seed
 
Fenugreek leaves, dried and crushed
 
Instructions:
 
1.       Wash and blanch spinach.
 
2.       In heavy bottom pan, heat canola oil. Temper with cumin seeds and garlic. Let garlic turn golden brown, then add ginger, chillis and spinach. Quickly toss over high flame so spinach wilts off nicely but does not overcook to lose flavours. 
 
3.       Taste for seasoning before serving. Garnish with fenugreek leaves (optional).
 
Serving size: 2 serving.
