Egg Spinach Thoran - Egg Spinach Stir Fry

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 :-)

Ingredients:-

  1. Spinach Finely Chopped ~ 3 cups
  2. Eggs - 3 or 4
  3. Finely chopped onion - 1
  4. Green chilies chopped - 3
  5. Turmeric powder - 3/4 tsp
  6. Garam Masala - 3/4 tsp(optional) 
  7. Salt to taste
  8. Coconut oil/Veg oil - 1 tbsp
  9. Mustard seeds - 1tsp
  10. Dry red chilies 2
  11. Curry leaves few

Preparation Method:-
  • Wash well and drain the water completely from the spinach. Chop them finely and move to a bowl.
  • In another bowl break the eggs and beat them well with a spoon and set aside. 
  • Add chopped green chilies, onion, turmeric powder, salt to the chopped spinach and mix well with clean hands.
  • Heat up a kadai/Frying pan, pour oil. Sputter mustard seeds, add dry chilies, few curry leaves and saute for few seconds.
  • Simmer  the stove to medium and add the spinach mix and stir fry for couple minutes till they are cooked and are soft(Usually it take less than five minutes)
  • Now add the beaten egg and stir fry till the eggs are mixed well with spinach and are dry.
  • Sprinkle the garam masala and saute for another one or two minutes and take off the stove(optional)
  •  Add more curry leaves and move to serving dish. Serve warm with Roti/Naan/Rice.
Note:-
Adding Garam Masala is optional, usually I add them when I have mild spiced main course curry and make it simple without Garam Masala when the main course curry is spicy or Masala Curry.

  13. oh no don't remind me about packing and moving with kids around. I moved last time when my younger monster was 1 ! It was so terrible for me, but so much fun for him. He would unpack everything if I leave any cartons unsealed !
    You know how much I love this combo :-)
