What you need
  • 500 gm spinach, finely chopped;
  • ½ - 1 cup fresh grated coconut;
  • 3 garlic cloves;
  • 4 shallots;
  • 1 green chilli;
  • 1 red dried chilli;
  • few curry leaves;
  • pinch of turmeric powder;
  • 1 tbsp cumin powder;
  • 1 tsp mustard seeds;
  • salt as per taste;

Method
  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. Lower the flame and add the coconut mix. Stir and cook for about 3 minutes.
