Palak curry

Tonight's dinner Rice with palak curry:

Ingredients

Palak                                                    2 bunches
Fenugreek leaves (methi) (optional)       1/4 bunch            
Tomatoes                                              2 Medium
Onion                                                    1 large size
Turmeric (optional)                                1 pinch
Red Chilly powder                                 2 tspoons
Coriander powder (optional)                  1 tspoon
Garam Masala (optional)                        1/4tspoon
Tamarind (optional)                                1/4inch/tspoon
Sugar     (optional)                                 1/2tspoon
Garlic (crushed)                                     4 cloves
Oil                                                         2 tablespoon

Heat oil in pan. Add onions, crushed garlic, tomatoes, palak, fenugreek leaves and allow it to cook for 5mins in medium flame. Add turmeric, chilly powder, coriander, garam masala, sugar, tamarind, salt and close the lid. Cook for 15mins in low flame. Switch off the flame. Palak curry is ready to have with rice.

Tips:
  1. Do not add water while cooking. Palak will leave water on its own.
  2. I have mentioned many ingredients as optional, because palak will taste good even if we donot add optional ingredients. Simple yet yummy.
  3. Watch out when you add salt. Leafy vegetables don't need much salt.
