Necessity is the mother of invention and I can say necessity is a motivation for creativity too, specially if one day you return home from work and find only a bunch of spinach left in your vegetable box for cooking dinner. I decided to combine spinach to eggs forming a lipsmacking ,mouth watering curry which one can slurrp with any fried flatbreads.
