flour

🥗Healthier: whole wheat flour

Whole wheat flour adds fiber and nutrients.

green chili

🥗Healthier: jalapeño

oil

🥗Healthier: coconut oil

💰Cheaper: vegetable oil

Coconut oil adds flavor while vegetable oil is more economical.

Heat a heavy bottom pan and add oil to cover the bottom.

Once the oil is hot, add sliced onions, garlic, green seasoning, hot peppers, and scallions.

Saute the aromatics for about 4-5 minutes until cooked down.

Add poibhaji (Malabar spinach) to the pan and stir well.

Let the poibhaji cook for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Add finely sliced bok choy to the pan and stir.

Cook the bok choy for about 5 minutes until it wilts down.

Add chopped baby spinach to the pan and stir well.

Cook for an additional 5 minutes until all the spinach is wilted.

Add salt to the mixture after the spinach has cooked down to avoid excess saltiness.

Pour in coconut milk and stir to combine.

Let the mixture saute on moderate heat until it thickens and the liquid reduces, about 20 minutes.

Once thickened, serve the bhaji hot.
