How to Make Spicy Fried Spinach

  1. Wash spinach thoroughly in several changes of cold water to remove any grit. Drain well and roughly chop.
  2. Heat ghee and peanut oil in a large skillet or wok over medium heat.
  3. Add the sliced onions and stir-fry until golden brown, about 5-7 minutes.
  4. Add the minced garlic and ginger. Stir-fry for another minute until fragrant.
  5. Add cumin seeds and stir for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  6. Stir in garam masala, turmeric powder, red chili powder, and salt. Cook for 30 seconds, stirring constantly.
  7. Add the chopped spinach to the skillet.
  8. Reduce heat to low, cover, and cook until spinach wilts and is tender, about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add a tablespoon or two of water if needed to prevent sticking.
  9. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
  10. Serve hot as a side dish with rice, naan, or your favorite Indian meal.
