Niramish (Vegetables)

This dish was demonstrated to me by a friend who grew up in the North of India She used to make it with her Grandmother as a child, but has given it her own Western style.
The dish is energy sustaining due to the root vegetables and beans, also rich in iron, fibre and a good digestive aid because of the spice content.
Niramish is great on its own, but she served it with steamed fish and boiled rice as part of a large meal.

2 spring onions
Few stalks of spinach/silverbeet
