This is another one recipe which is passed to me by my mum..She make this often( atleast once a week ), she mixes this with hot steaming rice along with ghee(ofcourse, we add ghee in everything) and put it in our lunch boxes. Now I am following the same tradition and packing this in my hubby's lunch box, luckily he liked it a lot.
This is like a doddle to make, The main thing about this is its simplicity and you can taste everybit of it greeny freshness. I hope you will love it and tell me how it turned out for you.
Ingredients:
Spinach - 1 bunch ( I used Arai Keerai) roughly chopped
Garlic - 4 cloves
Green Chilli - 2 chopped
Water - ½ cup
Salt to taste
For Tempering:
Ghee - 3 tblspn
Shallots / Sambar Onion - 5 chopped finely
Method:
Take water in a sauce pan. Add garlic and green chillies in it.
Add in the roughly chopped spinach in.
Cover with a lid and cook it for 5 mins.
Now remove them from heat and let them cool down.
Take it in a blender and make into a fine puree.
Pour that in a bowl.
Now heat ghee in a pan and add in the shallots. Fry them till golden brown.
Pour this over the spinach puree and mix well.
Serve with rice and papad.

I ve heard from both my mother and MIL that the vessel should not be covered when cooking greens. But u ve asked to cover the vessel for 5 mins. Any reason behind it?
Aarthi
@Amala Christi JosephNo there is no special reason. I just feel that covering and cooking the greens make it cook faster. It is just for 5 mins right..So you can cook covered. But if you are going to cook greens any longer than that, then you should not cover the pan, it makes the green lose it colour.

Hi Arti. What i learnt from a chef is, we shouldn't cover the spinach while cooking as while cooking spinach, certain volatile gas comes out and that shouldnt be blocked during cooking.
