Spicy Fried Spinach

Ingredients :

500 g spinach, stalks removed

2 tablespoons ghee

2 tablespoons cooking oil

2 large onions, sliced finely

2 cloves garlic, chopped finely

1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated finely

1 teaspoon cumin seeds

1/2 teaspoon black cumin seeds

1/2 teaspoon ground cumin

1/2 teaspoon ground coriander

1/2 teaspoon ground turmeric

1/4 teaspoon chili powder

Salt to taste

Method :

Wash the spinach well and remove the tough stalks. Heat the ghee and oil in a wok. Fry the onion until soft and golden. Add garlic and ginger, fry stirring for another minute. Add the seeds, ground spices and salt to taste. Mix well. Then add in the spinach with only the water that remains on the leaves after washing. Toss in the spicy mixture, then turn heat very low and cook uncovered, stirring frequently until the spinach is cooked. It may be necessary to add a little more water to prevent spinach sticking to the pan. Serve with steamed white rice, chapatis or other Indian breads.
