Sautéed Spinach
Sautéed spinach is an easy-to-prepare side dish that pairs well with rice and chapati. Spinach is low in calories, high in fiber, and rich in vitamins and minerals such as iron, vitamin C, and vitamin K. It is also a good source of antioxidants and has been linked to improved eye health and reducing the risk of heart disease and cancer.
