How to Make Passage To India Creamed Spinach

  1. Wash and roughly chop the spinach. Add spinach and 1/4 cup water to a large pot. Cook uncovered over medium heat, stirring frequently, until spinach wilts (about 2-3 minutes).
  2. Drain the spinach well and roughly chop it again. Set aside.
  3. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the chopped onion and saute until softened and lightly browned, about 5 minutes, stirring frequently.
  4. Stir in the grated ginger, chopped tomatoes, plain yogurt, 1/2 teaspoon garam masala, 1/4 teaspoon turmeric, 1/4 teaspoon cumin, and a pinch of cayenne pepper (if using).
  5. Cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring constantly, until the mixture slightly thickens. If it starts to stick, add 1-2 tablespoons of vegetable broth or water.
  6. Reduce heat to low. Add the chopped spinach to the sauce.
  7. Stir gently until the spinach is heated through and coated in the yogurt sauce (about 2 minutes).
  8. Season with salt to taste.
  9. Serve hot over basmati rice or whole wheat fettuccine noodles.
