Spinach is a super food rich in Iron. The rich green color it renders to any dish is always eye pleasing in addition to the loads of nutrients it has. Spinach can be used in many ways in smoothies, pastas, stir fry and in Indian dishes too. I usually use it in dosas, coot, poriyal and kulambu. One of the easiest way to use Spinach in Indian dishes is this ANDHRA SPINACH PAPPU. The protein rich toor dal cooked with spinach and tempered with garlic and spices gives a subtle taste to this spinach pappu. A bowl of hot rice with a dollop of ghee is definitely a nutritious and comfort meal on any day.
