Versatile Bihari Spinach: Breakfast Side Dish for Pooris and More
I’ve made this spinach for many years it comes from one of my oldest, faded and food splattered cookbooks – Madhur Jaffrey’s, Eastern Vegetarian Cooking.

I have Mike McEnearney’s book Kitchen By Mike on a long borrow from my sister while her house is being demolished and a new one built. Despite the fact there’s quite a lot of meat-based recipes, I’m getting quite a lot out of it because the salads are just so good, and salads are my…
