Sai Bhaji

This Sindhi staple is my mum's 'one-pot' recipe for a nutritious, iron rich spinach curry. It tastes so good you have to try it and the best combination for Sai bhaji is this easy Brown Rice recipe.

What you'll need..

• 4 Cups chopped spinach
• 1/2 Cup chana dal (Split bengal gram) soaked in water for 20 mins
• 1 Medium onion chopped
• 1-2 Green chillies chopped
• 2 Tbsp chopped dill
• 1 Tomato chopped
• 1 Tsp coriander powder
• 1/2 Tsp turmeric powder
• 3 Tbsp oil
• Salt to taste

How to..

• I make this dish using a pressure cooker. Just helps cut back on cooking time.
• Heat oil in a pressure cooker. Add the chopped onions and green chillies and fry till the onions turn light brown.
• Add chopped spinach and dill and mix well. Cook for about a minute.
• Discard the water and add the soaked chana dal, tomato, salt, coriander powder and turmeric. Mix well.
• Add one cup water. Cover with a lid and cook on high heat till you hear the first whistle. Then cook on low heat for 20 minutes. 
• Open the lid once all the steam has cooled. Smash the spinach and dal a few times with a potato masher. If the curry is too thick, add a little water. Serve hot with rice.
