Easy to make, delicious and healthy spinach curry made in Indian
style with spices. Goes well with naan, roti or any flavored rice
like jeera rice.
Heat oil in a pan and add cumin seeds. When they splutter, add onions
and green chiles.
Saute until the onions turn golden. Add ginger garlic, turmeric, and
salt. Saute for 2 minutes.
Next add besan/gram flour and garam maslaa. On a low heat, saute
until the flour begin to smell aromatic. The raw smell of the flour
should have completely gone.
Then add spinach and saute until it wilts. To a blender pour 2/3 cups
water. Add the sauteed spinach and onion mixture.
Make a smooth or slightly coarse puree to suit your liking.
Transfer this back to the same pot along with more water. I added
1-1/4 cups in total to blend and add at this stage. You may need more.
Bring this to a boil and cook for 3 to 4 minutes until the spinach
curry smells good.
When the curry turns thick yet is of pouring add kasuri methi. Mix
and turn off. Taste it and add more salt if needed. It will still
taste slightly bland at this stage.
Temper:
Heat ghee or butter in a small pan. Add sliced garlic and red chiles.
Fry the garlic until it turns golden.
Add hing and pour this to the spinach curry. Give a good mix and
cover it.
Squeeze lemon juice before serving. Spinach curry is best served hot
with butter naan, roti or jeera rice.
Rinse and chop onions, spinach, ginger, garlic, and green chiles.
