Steps

Maximum 40 minutes

1

On a pot of boiling water, add little salt and then spinach leaves to it. Steam the spinach leaves for 2 to 3 minutes until wilted.
Take them out and put them in ice cold water to retaining their green colour.
Then take blender, add the blanched spinach along with tomato, 3 cloves of garlic, ginger and green chilli. Puree to a smooth paste and set aside.
2

Heat a pan on medium heat. Once hot, add the oil or the butter cube then add the remaining 2 cloves of chopped garlic. Sauté for few minutes until it starts changing color.
Then add the chopped onions. Cook the onion for 2 to 3 minutes until soft and translucent.
Add in the prepared spinach puree and mix. Also add around 1/2 cup water at the point.
Cover the pan and let it cook for 10 minutes on medium heat. The spinach will bubble a lot. Stir at regular intervals to avoid sticking at the bottom
