ingredients
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil, divided
- 9 ounces spinach
- 1 small chopped onion
- 2 teaspoons grated ginger
- 2 teaspoons grated garlic
- 1 teaspoon red chili powder
- 2 teaspoons cumin powder
- 1 tablespoon coriander powder
- 1 teaspoon dried fenugreek leaves (Kasuri methi)
- 1 finely chopped tomato
- 1 tablespoon butter
Method
Step 1
Heat 1 tablespoon vegetable oil. Sauté spinach until it wilts and starts to release water. Remove from pan and keep aside.
Step 2
Heat the remaining tablespoon of vegetable oil in the pan. Sauté onions until translucent, 4-5 minutes. Add ginger and garlic paste. Sauté for about 3 minutes.
Step 3
Add turmeric, red chili powder, cumin powder, coriander powder and chopped tomato. Add a splash of water into the pan to prevent the spices from burning. Cook until tomato becomes soft, about 5 minutes.
Step 4
Add the sautéd spinach back into the pan and season with salt. Sauté on high heat.
Step 5
Slightly crush the kasuri methi on the palm of your hands. Add to the spinach. Turn the heat off.
Step 6
Add the dollop of butter. Let it melt into the spinach. Mix and serve with some rice.
