Bhaji



I used Poi Bhaji in this recipe.Any variety of Spinach can be used,fresh or frozen.Some use Coconut milk in this recipe especially with Chorai Bhaji and the variety that is available in North America. Cow's milk can also be used. This is a very easy recipe and does not have any spices,some people add whole jeera(1/4 teaspoon) when sauteing the onions at the beginning or ground jeera when it is almost done.

Ingredients:
2 lbs Spinach chopped(approximately)
1 small onion chopped
3 flakes garlic chopped
2 small peppers
1 medium tomato chopped
1 teaspoon oil
salt to taste

Method:

1. Heat oil in pan/karahi.
2. Stir fry onion until transparent.
3. Add garlic and pepper, stir for 1 second.
4. Add chopped spinach.
5. Sprinkle salt on top of Spinach--they will immediately start to loose water.
6. Add chopped tomato and stir well.
7. If you are adding coconut milk--now is the time to add--about 1/2 teacup.
8. Remove whenever you are satisfied--traditionally,Spinach is allowed to cook until all liquid evaporates.
