Palak & Egg Burji (Breakfast Recipe)

A quick rush to work calls for a faster cooking menu. "Egg" does behave a sincere saver in such cases
.
My Kids don't have a immediate liking for spinach, however I keep identifying  ways to camouflage them and use. It just happened when kids asked for scrambled egg for breakfast, I chopped the spinach and after sauteing added them like coriander. Little did anyone realize it was not coriander ! 

I have been ever since trying to make this highly nutritious food a compulsion in my weekly menu !You can add grated carrots by all means, I had to omit has I did not have stock and obviously cant have my mornings to such leisure chores :)

We also make it for dinner at times..It is a multipurpose recipe !
