Gobi Palak/Cauliflower Spinach sabzi/fry

Fresh veggies are available all around the year anywhere so why not enjoy. I had only these two veggies sitting in my fridge and tried this combination and it came out very well.

 


Nutriotional Values:
Spinach nutrition is amazing. The calcium content in spinach and the other dark leafy greens mentioned above strengthens bones.
The A and C vitamins in spinach plus the fiber, folic acid, magnesium and other nutrients help control cancer, especially colon, lung and breast cancers. Folate also lowers the blood levels of something called homocysteine, a protein that damages arteries. So spinach also helps protect against heart disease.  
Cauliflower contains a high amount of vitamin C,folate, fiber, and complex carbohydrates. It is also a cruciferous vegetable being studied for its role in reducing cancer risk

Ingredients:
Spinach/palak - 3 cups
Gobi/cauliflower - 2 cups
Green chili - 2(adjust according to taste)
Onion - 1small
Spring onions - 2tsp (chopped )
Garlic - 3 pods
Salt (according to taste)
Oil - 2 tsp (Adjust accordingly)
Cumin seeds - 1/2 tsp

Method:

1.Wash spinach and cauliflower .If you get the spinach from indian store make sure you wash it properly as its not pre-washed .I had a bad experience once.                                                               
2.Cut spinach,spring onion,onion,green chili and gobi.
3.Heat a pan and add oil to it add cumin seeds and allow them to splutter . If you like mustard seeds please go ahead and add at this point.
4.Add onion,green chili,spring onion,garlic .Once the onion is cooked,add gobi mix it continuously for about 5 minutes in high flame. Now reduce the flame, cover it and let it cook for about 8 to 10 minutes.Once the gobi is 50% cooked add spinach,salt , green chili and mix it properly.
6.Cook it until the water evaporates and check for the seasoning , add if anything is required.
7.Switch off the heat and the curry is ready to serve.




Serve it with roti/rice.
