Hey, the spinach looks so green and nice!...The red chillies are adding to the beauty.
By the way, I have a similar but a little different way of doing this. Will post soon :)

Hi tweety

I don't know Lakshmi except through the food blog. Yes, the blog templates are surely a coincidence. Even Lakshmi of My Rasoi mentioned it earlier.

Spinach and garlic is a winning combo. I love a plain saute of spinach and garlic.
