Keerai Masiyal - Spinach saute

I happened to remain dormant for about a week. There is no big reason. Somehow was caught up with lot of other work the whole week. Felt guilty for not looking at the blog for a while. Thought should definitely post something today. I made this today for my lunch. I love greens. In a week I make spinach atleast twice. I like to mix it with just steamed rice and eat. Or just cook it with some moong dhal and just add salt to it and i could eat a cup of it. This time I made this sauté. Its slightly different from our regular keerai kootu.

Ingredients:

Spinach - 1 bunch
Onion - 1/2 finely chopped
Tomato - 1 chopped fine
Ginger - 1 tbps chopped
Cumin Seeds - 1 tsps
Asafoetida - a pinch
Green Chili - 1 slit into half

Preparation:

In a pan heat a tbsps oil. Add cumin seeds . Let it fry for few seconds and add asafoetida. Now add green chilli and ginger. Saute for about 10 seconds and add chopped onion. Fry for about a min and then add tomatoes.

Saute till tomato is almost cooked. Now add spinach, salt and mix well. Close it with lid and keep checking and mixing once in a while till spinach cooks well. Cook in medium heat. Add water only if necessary.

Once it is cooked, serve it with hot steamed rice and papad or with roti.

Sending this to Umm Mymoonah's Anyone can Cook
