When we think of Calcium, we instantly think of Milk and other Dairy products. But do you know that Spinach is a good source of Calcium too? Packed with Iron, Folic acid and Calcium, Spinach sure is one powerful Leaf! We all use Spinach in dals..... here is yet another easy preparation.
Recipe

1 box (10 oz) of frozen, chopped spinach
1 small onion, finely chopped
3 garlic cloves
1/2 tsp urad dal
1/4 tsp cumin seeds
4 curry leaves
3 green chillies (slit lengthwise)
1/4 tsp turmeric
salt to taste
1 tbsp Oil

Thaw frozen spinach, squeeze water, and set the spinach aside.
Heat oil in a saucepan, add seasoning of urad dal, cumin seeds, chopped garlic & curry leaves. Add onion and saute until onion turns translucent. Add spinach, salt & turmeric, green chillies and let fry for 10-15 minutes. If you dont like plain spinach flavour, add a 1/4 tsp of your favourite garam masala powder. This fry can be had with rice.
