Spinach Tomato Sabzi / Palak Tamatar Sabzi

Yesterday, we had Dal Palak with Roti & Rice for dinner.. I had kept some cut Spinach (Palak) in the fridge for later use. 

Today, most of the dishes that I cooked was with Tomatoes as I made Palak Tomato Sabji for Rajesh's lunch box  with the cut Spinach I had kept in the fridge.  In the afternoon, I made Tomato Rice for lunch :).  Tomatoes are quite reasonable in the market and hence made so many dishes with this vegetable!

This is again a very quick and easy recipe and the only hurdle is washing and cutting the Spinach.

Let get ready to make this dish...

Ingredients :

Spinach (Palak) cut - 3 cups

Green chillies slit into 2 - 3

Finely chopped Garlic - 2 tsp

Finely cut tomato - 1/2 cup

Turmeric - 1/4th tsp

Red Chilli Powder - 1/2 tsp

Salt to taste

Groundnut powder - 2 tbsp

Oil - 1 tbsp

Cumin Seeds, Mustard Seeds & Asafetida  for tempering

Method :

Wash and cut the Spinach (Palak).  Heat the pan and add oil.  Temper with Cumin Seeds, Mustard Seeds & Asafetida.  Add green chillies, Garlic and saute for some time.  Then add Turmeric, red Chilli powder, tomato and salt and cook till the tomato is cooked.  Add the Spinach and allow it to cook for some more time.  You need to saute this in between while cooking.  Add the Groundnut powder and serve hot with Chapati or Bhakri.
