spinach - Leftover special Side dish.

Well friends, I made this side dish last week using the left over Tomato godhsu and cooked plain spinach. I made spinach kootu with the frozen spinach. I just used half the box of spinach and kept the other half. I used it for this dish along with the tomato godhsu I made for breakfast. Here goes the recipe.

Ingredients:-

1. Boxed spinach - 1/4 box (thawed & cooked)
2. Tomato Godhsu - 1/4 cup
3. Salt to taste (only for spinach)
4. Shredded coconut - 2 tsp

Pre heat a pan, add the spinach with 1/4 cup of water, add required amount of salt (only for spinach) and let it boil for couple of minutes. Now add the left over godhsu and let it mix with spinach and boil for 5 more minutes. Sprinkle the coconut on top of it and serve it. Add water according to the required consistency. If its too watery, just mix a teaspoon of rice flour in water and add it to the sabji and let it boil for couple of more minutes which help to thicken the sabji. The taste was really good and my kids really like this way of making spinach (lol...)
