SPINACH CURRY

Steps:

• Heat the oil.
• Add the thymol seeds (ajwain in hindi).
• Add the ginger, garlic and onions.
• When the onions get soft, add the spinach.
• Add all the spices and salt.
• ** I microwave my spinach for about 8 minutes. Cook the spinach to the doneness level you like.
• ** Variations - I sometimes add boiled potatoes, tomatoes or yogurt to this. All the variations taste good :)
• ** Another variation - If you want sort of a gravy add some water mixed with corn starch and add alongwith the spinach.
