On a bit of a roll with spinach recipes at the moment. It is one of my favourite vegetables and very good for you . You could use chard as an alternative, but the stems will need to be cooked for longer than the leaves. Serve as part of a meal alongside other Indian dishes.
Ingredients
- 500 g fresh spinach
- 4 tbsps vegetable oil
- 1 tsp cumin seeds
- 4 whole dried red chillies
- 1 large onion thickly sliced
- 4 plump cloves garlic crushed
- sea salt to taste
- 1 tomato, chopped to garnish
Servings:
Instructions
- Wash the spinach leaves then chop quite finely and leave to drain in a colander.
- Heat the oil in a large frying pan and fry the cumin seeds and the red chillies until the chillies darken.
- Add the garlic and onion and continue to fry until they soften. Season then add the spinach.
- Mix well and cook over a low heat until the spinach is done. This will vary according to the type of spinach you are using- young spinach will take about 3-5 minutes but older spinach may take 10 minutes or so.
- Garnish with the chopped tomatoes to serve.
