Crackling Spinach

Crackling Spinach
I fell in love with this dish when I tasted this for the first time in the restaurant Main Land China. As the name suggests it crackles in the mouth. It makes an excellent starter. With  minimum ingredients it can be prepared in a jiffy.

Ingredients:
30- 40 spinach leaves
1 table spoon roasted finely chopped almonds
1 table spoon roasted til (sesame seeds)
1 table spoon corn starch
1 tea spoon sugar
1 table spoon chilli flakes
Oil for frying
Salt to taste

Preparation:
  1. Wash and pat dry the spinach leaves using paper towel
  2. Keep the spinach leaves one above the other and cut finely
  3. Sprinkle corn starch on the chopped spinach and mix well to get a light coat of corn starch on the spinach
  4. Heat oil in a frying pan and fry the chopped spinach till crisp
  5. Remove the fried spinach on a paper towel to drain any excess oil.
  6. In a mixing bowl mix fried spinach, salt ,sugar, roasted til, roasted almonds, chilli flakes.
  7. Serve as a starter
