Spinach and Egg Cubes



When I first started this food blog, I reached out to my mother in law for some recipes that aren't common. And trust me; she has a lot to offer when it comes to cooking. She told me about the egg cubes and I was thrilled to know that something like this can be made.
The following recipe is inspired by hers and has a little touch of Neha Venna :). Try it out and go egging.  :)

Ingredients

Green Peppers/ Capsicum – ½ Cup, chopped
Eggs – 5
Spinach – 2 Cups, cleaned and chopped
Cilantro/ Coriander Leaves – ¾ Cup, chopped
Mint Leaves – ¼ Cup, chopped
Turmeric Powder – ¼ tsp.
Chili Powder – ½ tsp.
Dhanya and Jeera Powder – ¼ tsp.
Ground Pepper – ½ tsp.
Salt – to taste
Water – 4 to 5 cups
Serves 2

Method

1. Take a pan, mix all the ingredients (except water) and whisk in to a fine mixture.


2. Transfer the mixture in to a container that fits in to a pressure cooker.


3. Take a pressure cooker, add water and bring it to a boil.
4. Place the spinach and egg mixture container in to the cooker and cover it with a lid. Make sure the water doesn't fall in to it while steaming.
5. Cover the cooker with its lid and let it steam for about 10 - 15 minutes.
6. When done, take the container out and let it cool. The mixture turns in to a flat cake. Place it on a plate and cut in to pieces of desired size.



7. The cubes can be eaten by themselves as a snack or can be stir fried with some onions and green chilies. When sauteed, the cubes look and taste like paneer.
