Souchal/malva:

Serving size: 3-4 people

Ingredients:

• 1 packet Palakh,
• salt to taste,
• 1tsp. red chili powder/marchwangan;
• pinch of heeng asafetida,
• vari/kashmiri masala,
• 4tsp.oil,

Sauchal may be available in northern parts of America and at Korean stores at other places. Usually it is not available everywhere, therefore I have replaced palakh with souchal

Method:

• Take 4 spoons of oil in a wide pan or kadahi.
• Add heeng and palakh/souchal to oil.
• Stir-fry palakh/souchal till all the water dries.
• Add 1spoon of chili powder to palakh/souchal and keep on stirring.
• Add salt and var (optional).
• Stir till only oily spicy palakh/souchal is seen.
• Souchal dish is now ready and can be relished with 'Trakur bata

(Little hard cooked rice).

• Usually, souchal is a side dish with main dishes like daal or haakh.
