#Rainbowweek6 - This is a great way to turn your greens stir fry into something interesting. In this recipe I have made use of spinach and added some fish eggs fritters (pakora) to it to give a non-veg. touch. It turned out real yummy and took this simple and healthy dish into the next level. Very easy to prepare, you can enjoy as a main course or side dish with any type of rice or Indian bread.
