Spinach -Paneer- Moong sprouts stir fry

Hope my US friends are safe and out of danger from 'Sandy'.If 'Irene' was a trailor,'Sandy' was the real movie.Though we were in the sandy track initially but then there was no major mishaps here.Coming back to today's recipe is one which was a trial n error and was successful.The combination of paneer, moong sprouts and spinach leaves.When you have smaller quantities of any of your veggies,What do you do? I know,many of you might be combining it with some other vegetable and prepare an interesting dish.So,does is the invention of this recipe.And I feel that's the best way to use it up too rather than wasting,ryt ? This is a very healthy,nutritious and the delicious stir fry.Hope u'll give this  a try sometimes & enjoy!!



Ingredients
moong sprouts 1 cup
paneer crumbled 1 cup
spinach leaves 1 cup
coconut shredded 1/3 cup(optional)
onion 1 medium chopped
garlic cloves 3-4
turmeric powder 1/2 tsp
green chillies  4-5 slit
mustard seeds 1/2 tsp
salt as needed
currry leaves few
oil 2 tbsp

sprouted moong
Method
- Wash and chop the spinach leaves.Chop the onions and garlic cloves,keep aside.
-Crumble the paneer and keep aside.

-Add in the spices and  moong sprouts.Add salt.Cover and cook for 10 minutes or till moong is cooked.
-Add in the spinach then,toss well and wait till the leaves get wilted.
-Add in the crumbled paneer,shredded coconut(if using).Adjust salt and mix well.

NOTES
* Add salt little by little as spinach leaves gets wilted and reduced to half.
* Adding coconut is strictly optional as there is no much flavor of that.I just added to give it a kerala touch.

  23. So healthy looking and I love all the ingredients used. To make the not-so-interesting sprouts taste good and to make it look interesting, Paneer & Spinach are a very good combination. You nailed it!
