This is a High protein dish with a different taste. A blend of chinese flavour is given to spinach and added boiled egg on top of it. Very easy to make recipe with minimum ingredients.
Ingredients required are
Egg boiled -2-4
spinach -1 bunch
Onion -1
capsicum -1
garlic -5-6 cloves
ginger -1/2 inch chopped
Pepper and crushed pepper corns -as required
Cube the onion, capsicum and garlic. in a kadai heat some oil and add the chopped spinach leaves, few garlic and ginger cubes. Sprinkle some pepper powder. Allow the water coming out of the leaves to evaporate and make it dry .( Remember we have not added the salt to it).
In another pan heat some oil and saute the onion, garlic, ginger and capsicum (at last). Now add the following sauces
Soya sauce -1 tspn
Chillic sauce (green chilli) -1 tspn
tomato ketchup -1 & 1/2 tsp
Mix well till raw smell is gone.
Finally add the cooked spinach and mix well. Sprinkle some pepper powder or crushed pepper on top if u want it to be a little more spicy. The sauces give the required saltiness to the dish. If you feel like adding a little more of salt then can just sprinkle some salt on to it. Now add the boiled eggs, scourged on sides on top of it. simmer the flame. Cover and keep it for few seconds till the flavour blends well with the egg. Enjoy with White rice.
