Since all the recipes I’ve been posting lately have been sweets or desserts, wanted to share a savory recipe today! Who doesn’t love round, hot Pooris? But often, after eating one too many, we are left feeling very full, all thanks to the Potato Masala that usually goes with it! In my effort to make a less sinful version of this delicious Indian dish, I added pureed spinach to the dough (so I get my dose of green + I love to add spinach to everything anyway😜 )! And as a substitute for the traditional potato masal (I know it’s irreplaceable, but this can be a number two option!), I cooked an Indian stir fried cabbage sabzi! From my Kitchen Today, Spinach Poori and Cabbage Stir fried Sabzi! 🟢 #FromMyKitchenToday #SpinachPoori #CabbageStirFry #IndianStirFry #SpinachPooriWithCabbageStirFry #Tasty #EasyRecipe #HealthyIndianRecipes #IndianRecipes #IndianFood #Poori #SpinachRecipes #Myfood #Loveforindianfood #DesiKhana #KitchenExperiments #VegetarianFood #Vegetarian #WhatVegetariansEat #Vegan #WhatVegansEat #IndianVegan #VeganFood #Loveforcooking #BayAreaLife #HomeChef #IndianFoodBlog #FoodBlog #Foodstagram
