Ingredients

• 300 grams Fresh spinach
• 1 medium (finely chopped) Onion
• 3 cloves (minced) Garlic
• 1 teaspoon (grated) Ginger
• 2 medium (finely chopped) Tomato
• 1 teaspoon Cumin seeds
• 1 teaspoon Ground coriander
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground turmeric
• 0.5 teaspoon Red chili powder
• 3 tablespoons Low-fat plain yogurt
• 100 milliliters Water
• 0.5 teaspoon (or to taste) Salt
• 1 teaspoon Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons (chopped, for garnish) Fresh cilantro

Directions

Step 1

Wash the spinach thoroughly under cold water and chop it roughly. Set it aside.

Step 2

Heat olive oil in a large skillet or pan over medium heat.

Step 3

Add cumin seeds to the pan and let them sizzle for 30 seconds until aromatic.

Step 4

Add the finely chopped onion and sauté for 4-5 minutes until golden brown.

Step 5

Stir in the minced garlic and grated ginger. Cook for another 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 6

Add the chopped tomatoes, ground coriander, turmeric, and red chili powder. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the tomatoes are soft and the mixture becomes a thick paste.

Step 7

Reduce the heat to low and stir in the yogurt, one tablespoon at a time, to prevent curdling. Mix well.

Step 8

Add the chopped spinach to the pan. Stir until the spinach wilts and is well coated in the spice mixture.

Step 9

Pour in the water and add salt to taste. Cover and simmer the curry for 5-7 minutes, allowing the flavors to combine.

Step 10

Once the spinach is tender and the curry thickens to your desired consistency, remove it from the heat.

Step 11

Garnish with fresh cilantro and serve hot with steamed rice or whole wheat flatbread.
