Palak Do Pyaza

As the name suggests there are only two main ingredients in this recipe. They are palak(spinach)and pyaz(onion). Greens are a must in our every day diet plan. This recipe will be a change from usual paneer(cottage cheese)based recipes. This is a fat free dish with very little oil. Easy to cook and takes very little time.

Ingredients:

500g palak,200g onion,1tsp jeera,1tsp amchur powder,1tsp rice flour or corn(makka) flour, ½ tsp chilli powder,1 tsp of oil and salt to taste.

Preparation:

1. Wash and finely chop the palak and set aside. 
2. Finely chop the onions, heat oil in a pan, put jeera and onions and fry till golden brown. 
3. Add a little salt while frying the onions, this helps in browning the onions faster. 
4. To this add the chopped palak, little more salt, amchur powder and chilli powder and cook well. No need to add water since palak itself would leave some water and gets cooked. 
5. Once it is soft and done add the flour for binding,cook for two more minutes and put off the flame. 
6. The subtle tangy taste of amchur is very encouraging to have more of this nutritious palak.

Serve hot with rice or roti.
