Spinach is one of the richest source of iron and can be invariably used in any of the recipes may be as a starter,main course,snacks ,soups,drinks.It gives a deep green colour to the dishes.I happened by chance to make this dish and it became a hit at home and sometimes this happens with u guys too,Isn't it??.I had some cooked black chana with me in the refrigerator and a packet of baby spinach.I thought to combine both and make a masala for rice.This really served very tasty and flavorful with rice but can be a good combo with rotis too.Do give this a try!!

baby spinach 170 g
black chick peas 1 cup cooked
onion 1 medium sliced
ginger -garlic paste 1tsp
