• 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric powder
• 1 teaspoon Coriander powder

• 1 teaspoon Salt

Directions

Step 1

Wash the spinach thoroughly under running water to remove any dirt or grit. Set aside.

Step 2

Chop the onions, garlic, ginger, and green chilies finely.

Step 3

Dice the tomato and set it aside.

In a large pan, heat 1 tablespoon of ghee over medium heat. Add the cumin seeds and let them splutter for a few seconds.

Add the diced tomato, turmeric powder, coriander powder, and salt to the pan. Cook until the tomatoes become soft and the spices are well incorporated.

Step 8

Meanwhile, in another pot, bring the water to a boil. Add the fresh spinach to the boiling water and blanch for about 2 minutes.

Step 9

Drain the spinach and immediately transfer it to a bowl of cold water to retain its bright green color.

Step 10

Once the spinach is cooled, blend it into a smooth puree using a blender or food processor.

Step 11

Add the spinach puree to the pan with the cooked spice mixture. Stir well to combine.

Step 12
