Palong Begun Bhaja/Spinach brinjal Stir-Fry
Whenever my husband goes vegetable shopping, he cannot resist the lure of fresh greens; and especially in winters, spinach comes regularly to my kitchen. Naturally I have to keep juggling between one recipe and another to provide variety without using too much oil or too many spices.
Ingredients:
- Spinach
- Brinjal (for 1 big bundle of spinach, take a medium brinjal)
- Garlic (finely chopped)
- Mustard seeds
- Green chillies
- Salt
- Sugar
- Oil
Preparation:
- Chop the spinach (use only leaves and tender stems)
- Cut the brinjals into medium-sized cubes and smear with salt and sugar
- Fry well, drain excess oil and keep aside
- Heat a little oil in a wok and temper with mustard seeds and chopped garlic
- Break the chillies and add
- Now add the spinach
- Cover and cook without water
- When the water is evaporated, add the fried brinjals and mix well
- Again, let all water get evaporated
- Turn off the flame
- Serve with steamed rice
