Add chopped spinach, carrots, zucchini, mushrooms, and bell peppers. Take a pan top it by sprinkling olive oil and saute onions and a couple of cloves of garlic. After a minute or two, add all the remaining chopped vegetables and stir them for three to four minutes.

To control the fat content add vinegar or lemon juice along with Tomato puree (instead of sugar)  to have little sweetness. Season with salt to taste and add herbs and spices like black pepper.

Mash boiled potatoes and add a little salt and black pepper to them. Make it into a smooth, light, and fluffy consistency by adding milk.

Assemble the vegetables and spoon the potatoes over them and put them in a preheated oven and bake.
