Winter and Hibernation??? If that is what you thought of my reason to be inactive from couple of days I would just say a big 'nooo'. Its been a hectic week with packing and moving of our Apt home. I had been trying to pack stuffs from two weeks back but it was fun to see my kids sitting and playing in the carton boxes which I used for packing. Must say they had lot of fun with the Apt move where as me and hubby is fully exhausted. Phew, only God knows when I will unpack, arrange and settle down with everything in our new Apt home :-) .
Coming back to today's recipe, this is a simple Thoran/Stir Fry with spinach and Egg which I make quite often especially when I have less spinach to be used as standalone. This quick and ezee dish is perfect with Roti/Rice and tastes just awesome. So next time you have spinach in your pantry which are not sufficient enough to make a proper Sabzi/Stir fry or Curry by its own try out this recipe and I'm sure you will love it for its taste and the easiness to prepare :-)
