An absolute dinner time favorite, this side dish is healthy , yummy and the best part takes 5 mins to assemble and cook.
Things you need
Spinach leaves - wash thoroughly and pat dry (preferably baby spinach, on more mature leaves remove stalk completely else its little chewy)
cloves of garlic - sliced thinly
toasted sesame seeds- this is for texture really. On a warm tawa/ iron girdle (not hot else it would burn), toss a teaspoon of sesame seed , roll around for a min, till you get golden brown color, remove immediately.
Sesame oil - for a slightly nutty flavour
burnt chilly garlic dressing (completely optional - i picked this from fab india and it goes well with lot of stir fry dishes ), you can use a drizzle of tobsaco sauce, peri peri sauce whatever you have in your pantry to give a little heat to the dish. (Skip if you are not in mood)
Salt - a pinch
Now the easy part.
In a hot wok, add a tea spoon of cooking oil (sometimes i don't use oil at all), add garlic , stir it for 30 seconds.
Add spinach leaves , give it a good stir for a minute.
Add the chilly garlic dressing (1/2 tablespoon) , a generous splash of sesame oil (1 table spoon).
Turn off the heat , add salt , toss well for 20 seconds
Sprinkle toasted sesame seed.
Serve right away .
P.S. This is best to be cooked just before serving , reheating doesn't go too well with it.
Serving suggestions :
Hot Roti / Paratha and curry of your choice. This works as an excellent side dish.
Grilled chicken and instead of baked potatoes / vegetables , you could serve up this stir fry
