Yummy Spinach Bread - Indian style
I don't like Popeye but I do like Spinach. Most people, especially children, do not like spinach because it is not prepared in a way to make it appetizing. Cook it in different ways. Make it tasty and see if your family can resist eating it. My 10 year old daughter loves it when I cook it in different ways.

- I love spinach, and I love Indian food - nice to see a lens that combines them both! I should think about adding a food section to my Tibet, Nepal & South Asia lens.
