Ingredients

  • 2 pounds of vibrant, leafy fresh spinach
  • ¾ cup of rich and fragrant ghee, also known as clarified butter
  • A duo of large onions, thinly sliced for a delicate texture
  • 2 cloves of garlic, minced to release their aromatic essence
  • 1 tablespoon of ginger paste, for a warm and inviting flavor profile, adjust to personal preference
  • 2 teaspoons of fiery chile powder to add a kick of heat
  • 2 teaspoons of golden ground turmeric for a touch of earthy warmth
  • 2 teaspoons of aromatic garam masala for a burst of spice
  • 2 teaspoons of fragrant coriander seeds for a subtle crunch
  • 2 teaspoons of bold ground black pepper for a hint of pungency
  • 1 ½ teaspoons of salt to enhance all the flavors
  • 1 teaspoon of ground coriander for an additional layer of complexity
  • 1 teaspoon of ground cumin for a warm and nutty undertone
  • 1 can (14 ounces) of whole peeled tomatoes in their flavorful juice

Step 1

Prepare the spinach by giving it a good rinse, patting it dry, and removing the stems. Cut the spinach leaves into 1-inch strips for a lovely presentation.

Step 2

In a large saucepan, melt ghee over medium-low heat to create a flavorful base. Sauté the onions and garlic until they turn a beautiful golden color and become tender, which should take around 5 to 7 minutes. Lower the heat to intensify the flavors.

Step 3

Introduce the ginger paste into the pan, gently mixing it in for an aromatic touch. Sprinkle in the chile powder, turmeric, garam masala, coriander seeds, peppers, salt, coriander, and cumin, allowing the spices to bloom for about a minute, releasing their fragrant essence.

Step 4

Add the prepared spinach to the pan, ensuring it gets coated well with the flavorful spices. Pour in the tomatoes along with half of their juices to enrich the dish. Bring the mixture to a lively boil, then lower the heat to a simmer. Let it gently cook until the spinach and tomatoes have melded together beautifully, which usually takes around 5 to 10 minutes.

Extra Tips & Suggestions

  1. 1. Keep your spinach fresh by storing it in a sealed container lined with a damp paper towel to maintain its crispness and vibrancy.
  2. 2. For cherry tomatoes, store them at room temperature for optimal flavor but be sure to use them within a few days to prevent spoilage.
  3. 3. To enhance the flavors of your dish, consider storing your fresh herbs like basil and parsley in a glass of water on the countertop, just like a mini herb garden.
