Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Fresh spinach leaves
- 400 ml Coconut milk
- 1 large Onion
- 3 pieces Garlic cloves
- 1 inch Ginger
- 2 medium Tomato
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon Cumin seeds
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground turmeric
- 1 teaspoon Ground coriander
- 1 teaspoon Garam masala
- 0.5 teaspoon Red chili powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 100 ml Water
- 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro (optional)
Instructions
Wash the spinach thoroughly and chop it roughly. Set aside.
Finely chop the onion, garlic, and ginger. Dice the tomatoes.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add the cumin seeds and let them sizzle for 30 seconds until they release their aroma.
Add the chopped onion to the pan and sauté until golden brown, about 5-7 minutes.
Stir in the minced garlic and ginger, and cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Add the diced tomatoes, ground turmeric, ground coriander, red chili powder, and salt. Cook for 5-7 minutes until the tomatoes break down and form a thick paste.
Add the chopped spinach to the pan and cook for 3-4 minutes until it wilts down.
Pour in the coconut milk and water. Stir well and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Let it cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Add the garam masala and adjust salt to taste. Cook for another 2 minutes.
Remove from heat and garnish with freshly chopped cilantro, if desired.
Serve hot with steamed rice, naan, or roti.
