Hariyali Cheese Subzi
by Tarla Dalal
A little innovation is all it takes to combine off-beat ingredients like cheese and spring onions with spinach, and transform them all into a quick and flavourful dry subzi for serving with chapati. The Hariyali Cheese Subzi uses minimal ingredients and spices, yet comes across as a unique and memorable dish mainly due to the appetising aroma and flavour imparted by carom seeds.

It's a quick recipe. Though there is a little aftertaste of the spinach it still has a good overall taste and is healthy. Add more cheese if you like it cheesy. otherwise the taste is good.
Spring onion and and spinach cooked and then simmered with some cheese makes a lovely subzi. Non spicy.
