Ingredients:
| Spinach (thoroughly rinsed and drained) | 3 generous cups | |
| Eggs | 6 | |
| Plain flour | 4 Tbsp | |
| Cornflour(Cornstarch) | 3 Tbsp | |
| Shallots, chopped | 5 Tbsp | |
| Mild green pepper, chopped | 2 Tbsp | |
| Cheese - Mozzarella works well | 2-4 Tbsp | |
| Grated coconut | 2 -3 Tbsp | |
| Vegetable oil | 2 tsp | |
| Salt and pepper - or use seasoning powder (see notes) | To taste | |
| Chopped nuts of choice - I like Cashew nuts or Almonds | A handful |
Method:
- Preheat oven to 177ºc/ 350 ºF.
- Steam the spinach over boiling water for 5 minutes (or in a microwave steamer for 2 minutes). Do not boil it in water.
- Meanwhile, chop the shallots and green chilli. (I add both to the mini processor)
- Once steamed, take roughly half the amount of steamed spinach and blend it into a smooth puree. (I do this in the same mini processor)
- Add eggs to a bowl and beat well. Next, add both flours and beat again till there are no more lumps. (I use the immersion blender attachment here- its easier than using a beater)
- Add the pureed spinach along with salt and pepper (or seasoning powder preferred).
- Also add the chopped ingredients (chopped steamed spinach, shallots, green chili), grated coconut & cheese.
- Mix everything well with a spoon. Taste and adjust seasoning.
- Pour into a lightly greased baking dish.
- Scatter the nuts over the mixture.
- Bake for 30 – 40 minutes ( this varies from oven to oven – bake till the top is set without any darkening on top or sides).

Notes:
- For seasoning powder, you can add chicken stock powder or any salted seasoning mix you like. I like to add the following mix: 1/8 tsp white pepper powder, 1/8 tsp garlic powder, tiny pinch ginger powder, 1/8 tsp onion powder, 1/3 tsp powdered sugar, 1/2 tsp salt.
- Allow the baked spinach to rest a while before serving. This allows the flavors to blend well.
- If reheating the next day I like to sprinkle a little salt , pepper or my favorite soup seasoning. Yum!
