Here’s the recipe:

Ingredients

*1 cup – Spinach
*½ cup – Roasted chana dal or peanuts or coconut (dal and peanuts contain a good amount of protein)
*¼ cup – Mint
*4-6 – Cloves of garlic
*2 – Green chilies
*Salt to taste

Method

*Step 1: Wash the spinach leaves well and steam them for a few minutes so that they don’t lose colour or texture. Let it cool or you can transfer the leaves to a bowl of ice-cold water.

Do not steam the mint leaves, they can be used raw.

*Step 2: Now add all ingredients together in a blending or a mixer jar. Run it smooth, keep adding little water to get the preferred consistency.
