Yield Serves 6

Number Of Ingredients 8

1/4 cup peanut or canola oil
1 to 2 hot fresh green chiles, very finely chopped
2 medium onions, peeled and very finely chopped
3 garlic cloves, peeled and very finely chopped
1 ripe tomato (4 ounces), peeled after dropping into boiling water for 15 seconds, and then peeled and finely chopped
3 pounds spinach, cut crosswise into very fine strips
1 teaspoon salt, or to taste
1 teaspoon garam masala

Steps:

  • Put the oil in a large, wide pot and set over medium-high heat. When very hot, put in the chile, onions and garlic. Stir and fry until the onions turn medium brown. Add the tomato. Stir and fry for 2 minutes. Now put in the spinach and salt. Cover, allowing the spinach to wilt. Stir, turn the heat to medium, cover again, and cook for 25 minutes. Uncover, add the garam masala, and stir. Cook, uncovered, another 5 to 6 minutes, or until almost no liquid is left is left at the bottom of the pan. Turn up the heat during this period, if needed.

I love this recipe! It's so simple, yet so flavorful. I always have the ingredients on hand, so it's a great go-to meal for busy weeknights.

This was a quick and easy meal to make. The only problem was that the spinach wilted a bit too much for my taste. Next time I'll try adding it at the end of the cooking process.

I'm not a huge fan of spinach, but this dish was surprisingly good. The tomatoes and spices really helped to balance out the flavor of the spinach.

This was a great way to use up some leftover spinach. I also added a few chopped mushrooms and it was a delicious and healthy meal.

This was really easy to make and the flavors were great. I used a little less oil than the recipe called for and it was still plenty flavorful.

This was a bit too spicy for my taste, but my husband loved it. I think next time I'll use less chili powder.

Followed the recipe exactly and it turned out great! The spinach and tomatoes were so fresh and flavorful. I served it over quinoa and it was a perfect healthy meal.

Not bad for a quick weeknight meal. The flavors were good, but the texture was a bit bland. I think next time I'll add some tofu or chicken to give it a bit more substance.

This was amazing! I love spinach and tomatoes, so this was a no-brainer. I added a bit of garlic and ginger to the recipe and it turned out even better. Definitely making this again!

This was a delicious and easy-to-make dish. The combination of spinach, tomatoes, and spices was perfect, and the dish was so flavorful. I served it with basmati rice and it was a hit with my family.
