4 shallots;
1 green chilli;
1 red dried chilli;

Method
Into a grinder add coconut, garlic, shallots, green chilli, dried red chilli, turmeric and cumin powder. Grind them coarsely and keep aside. While grinding, don't add water.
Heat oil into a pan. Add mustard seeds and curry leaves. Once the mustard seeds start to sizzle, add chopped spinach and salt as per taste. Mix and let it cook for 5-7 minutes, on medium-low flame until spinach gets soft and water starts to evaporate.
Lower the flame and add the coconut mix. Stir and cook for about 3 minutes.
