bug special- palak ka saag

Here its no Tarla Dalaal but your very own bug- on how to make palak saag.

1. Buy twice the quantity of Spinach than wht you need. Knowing fully wel lthat it is going to turn out tasty and has to last two days.

3. Wash the Spinach.Wash it well.
4. Boil it in a container.
5. make the regular "TADKA" ready, with Tomato or our not so good spices(that you got from the indian store - paying thrice the regular price)
6. What- it just stuck that - leaves are bigger than usual Spinach? Is it really Spinach? Or is it Lettuce or some other leafy vege... God blessAmerica . Everything is big here.
7. Take a small bite of leaf- is it Spinach? hmmm Every damn leaf tastesthe same.Hmmmmm. Searching for the purchase recpt wont help as they usually wontmention the vegetable name and may use a generic term like – product XYZ$....
8. Anyways- since you have nothing better to cook..just proceed. So wht ifits Lettuce Saag (yuck- can imagine the smell) Lets see how it tastes. Maybe its good- none ever tried it anyways.You know- I cannt waste anything..
9. SMELL- hopefully its smell like spinach. Once hopeful..proceed.
10. Put the boiled whtever green leaves...into blender and turn theprocessor.
11. Did I tell you to chk that some blenders now have the jars tht have theblades that can be unscrewed? Dont forget to tighten it.Else once you havechurned the whole boiling thing ....it starts to leak....Leakheavily.....so you may panic and put your palm underneath....may cause mildburning sensation- which wont subside unless u put ur hand under water for3-4 min. Lets not even talk abt the green mess arnd.12. Anyway- If you manage to pass thru step 11- successfully and still havesome green thing left...add it to the all set tadka.13. let it boil for 5-10 min.14. Serve it with love and care to urself.
15. Hopefully - it was Spinach...whtever it was- it tasted good..if notbetter , nothing less than spinach.
Lesson Learnt- Add step 2 in the recipe.
2. READ- READ ONCE AGAIN- And ONCE MORE that it is written SPINACH that youare buying.
For all our indian Food fans- it goes without saying...do not forget tocook with all the windows open and leave it open for another hour...elsethe whole house would smell like Kitchen after a week.Better still that u leave the windows open the whole day next day while u away at work......................
Thats all for now.
more later.
bUG.
