Ingredients

  • 1 large bag of spinach (2 bags for 4-5 people)
  • 1/2 or 1/4 of a cup of garlic cloves, whole peeled
  • 1/4 of a cup of ground sesame
  • salt , to taste (black salt if possible)
  • 1 teaspoon of turmeric powder
  • 1 teaspoon of masala curry powder (if you're making it for kids just leave out the curry and black pepper)
  • 1/2 teaspoon of crushed black peppercorns (optional)

Method

  1. In a large pot put in the whole peeled garlic cloves, then add a little water - just enough to cover the garlic
  2. Bring to the boil on a high heat for around 10 minutes, after about 5 mins add turmeric and sesame powder (the garlic should absorb all the water and be soft like boiled potatoes)
  3. Try not to - but if you have to add more water, just make a hole in the mixture and pour onto the metal bottom of the pan so that the water doesn't cool down the mixture and only use very limited amount of water.
  4. Add a little salt and other spices if necessary and stir well, keep stirring constantly
  5. Add in the whole bag of washed, chopped spinach. If possible just break the spinach leaves in half rather than chop them.
  6. Stir this mixture for about 5 to 10 minutes until the spinach is well cooked and mushy, keep stirring so that it doesn't stick to the bottom of the pan
  7. Serve with your favorite veggies

Note - Sabji means vegetable in Hindi
