Ingredients
-
2 pounds fresh spinach
-
¾ cup ghee (clarified butter)
-
2 large onions, thinly sliced
-
2 cloves garlic, minced
-
1 tablespoon ginger paste, or more to taste
-
2 teaspoons chile powder
-
2 teaspoons ground turmeric
-
2 teaspoons garam masala
-
2 teaspoons coriander seeds
-
2 teaspoons ground black pepper
-
1 ½ teaspoons salt
-
1 teaspoon ground coriander
-
1 teaspoon ground cumin
-
1 (14 ounce) can whole peeled tomatoes in juice
Directions
-
Wash spinach; shake dry and stem. Slice into 1-inch strips.
-
Heat ghee in a large saucepan over medium-low heat. Add onions and garlic and cook until golden and soft, 5 to 7 minutes. Reduce heat to low.
-
Add ginger paste and toss gently to incorporate. Stir in chile powder, turmeric, garam masala, coriander seeds, peppers, salt, coriander, and cumin. Cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.
-
Add spinach and coat well; add tomatoes with 1/2 of their juice. Bring mixture to a rapid boil. Reduce heat and simmer until the spinach and tomatoes have cooked down, 5 to 10 minutes.
Cook's Notes:
If the spinach starts to stick while cooking, add a little extra water or tomato juice to the mixture.
It can be 100% vegan just by replacing the ghee with 3 teaspoons vegetable oil.
