All spinach varieties become our best friend once we know that they are always on top of the nutrition list. I love spinach as much as potato fries. Spinach are also versatile and when they are added to a simple sandwich or to any deep fry recipe, they add the health value and become more interesting to eat with satisfaction that ‘I am eating healthy’. There are chances that many of us leave the stems and eat only the leaves. Here I am going to share a recipe which includes only stems of the spinach. You can choose any spinach variety with nice good stem for this recipe. Here is the spinach stems fry recipe.

This takes approximately 10 minutes depending upon the flame. You can check pricking the potato with the fork or a toothpick. Once the potatoes are easily pricked, it’s done!Serve hot! It is a good companion for rotis, puris, and with sambar or rasam rice. Enjoy and let me know once you tried it and share in the comments below. Also share how to improve this recipe.
