Ingredients: 

  • 500 grams of organic spinach (roughly chopped)
  • 1 medium size red onion sliced length wise
  • 1 dry green chilies (optional)

  • 2 small garlic cloves finely diced
  • 1 inch inch fresh ginger grated
  • 1 tsp chili powder
  • 1 tsp ground black pepper
  • 1/2 tsp ground turmeric
  • salt to taste
  • 1/2 big lime juice (toppings)
  • chili flakes (toppings)

Method:

To an iron skillet, add the onions and sauté in its own water on medium high heat for 5 minutes.

Once the onions starts to sweat, add the chilies, garlic and ginger and stir well. Spritz some water if you find the veggies to stick to the pan.

After about 2 minutes or so, add the mushroom, potatoes, green peas and stir on medium heat for just 1 minute. Soon after adding the spinach and the spices. Stir to mix them all well. Let it cook for 2/3 minutes on medium heat.

Let the water evaporated and by then you will also see the spinach to be wilted a bit. Turn the heat off and transfer the stir fry/sabji to a bowl. Top it up with lime juice and mix. Add some chili flakes and serve hot with rice , chappati, or other bread.

Notes

  • Always remember to add some vitamin C (lemon juice) to an iron rich food for better iron absorption.
  • cooking in an iron skillet addsmore iron to your food but its good to avoid cooking citrus food in an iron skillet. Hence, in this dish I have added lime juice at the end.
