How I prepare - "Monastic Mix"?

On second day of Ganesh Chaturthy falls "Rishi Panchami". Women observe fast on the day and try to live life of a monk. For breakfast and Prasad they prepare a mix veg. The mix veg is made out of leafy vegetables, corn and no spices, except for some green chillies and salt. The mix veg is just yummy to eat with rotis made out of rice flour. Here is a rendition of same mix veg in my style.




Monastic Mix

1. They take five different types of leafy vegetables. I cooked it only with Palak (Spinach).
2. Take some Spinach. Wash and chop it fine.
3. Take a whole corn. Wash and cut into pieces. You may opt for baby corn as well.
4. Some peanuts.
5. Little tamarind.
6. 2-3 Garlic cloves.
7. Chopped green chilly.
8. Put a spoon of oil in a cooker.
9. Put all the above stuff with salt to taste.
10. Cover the cooker lid and off the stove after 4 whistles.
11. Open the cooker once cooled.
12. Serve with rotis or rice, with some cocunut chutney. Just delicious. Good as a diet food too.

NOTE: Wash all the vegetables thoroughly.
