Fresh Spinach With Vegetables - Eat Your Greens And Love Them Too!

• 500 grams fresh spinach, cleaned and washed
• 200 grams purple eggplant, diced
• 200 grams winter squash or sweet potato
• 1/4 teaspoon Nigella seeds (kalonji in India)
• 2 teaspoons neutral cooking oil
• 1 small dried red chilli (optional)

1. Heat oil. When very hot, add the chilli (if using) and the seeds.
2. Once the chilli turns brown or the seeds have sizzled for a few seconds, remove the chilli if you don't want spicy food. It can be used for garnishing or to make an individual diner's food hot as per taste.
3. Add sweet potato/winter squash and saute, over medium low heat for a couple of minutes.
4. Add aubergine/eggplant and saute until vegetables are almost cooked through.
5. Add the greens and saute till they are wilted and the vegetables are soft. If things start to dry up and burn before they are cooked, add a splash of water.
6. Season to taste. Serve hot with rice or as a side dish.
