Cheera Thoran / Spinach Stir Fry

One of my favorites!!!

Ingredients

Red / Green Cheera (Spinach): 1 Big bunch
Cheriya Ulli / Shallots: 6
Grated Coconut: 1/4 to 1/2 Cup
Green Chilly: 3
Turmeric Powder: 1/4 Tea Spoon
Coconut Oil: 2 Table Spoon
Mustard Seeds: 1/2 Tea Spoon
Salt
Water
Curry Leaves

Cooking Time: 10 minutes
Method

Clean the spinach  and wash it well .  Allow it to dry thoroughly.
Fine chop the spinach

Crush together grated coconut, green chilly, shallots and turmeric powder.
Mix together chopped spinach, coconut mix, salt and curry leaves

To a pan pour coconut oil and splutter the mustard seeds
Now add the spinach mix to it.  Give a good stir and close the lid and cook for just a minute
Now open the lid and cook for another 5 more minutes stirring in between  till all the water is gone

Serve hot with rice

Note:

Before chopping the spinach make sure its completely dry
Do not cook with lid closed for long time.  Because if you cover it for a long time steam will accumulate and the thoran will become soggy
Keep on flame till all the water is gone.  Make sure you stir carefully and regularly.
Add coconut as per your requirements.  I add 1/2 cup of coconut
