Spinach Bhaji (4)

This is a recipe for spinach that i return to often. Its from Das Sreedharans ” Fresh Flavours of India” (1999). Das has a small chain of restaurants in London . The first opened in Stoke Newington Church Street in the nineties and is called Rasa. This restaurant is solely vegatarian and has a fairly extensive range of dishes from Southern India. For those who prefer meat and fish there is another branch of the chain almost opposite called Rasa Travancore. Both are recommended if you are visiting the area.

Serve this dish as a side dish, or with a naan bread.
