4 Tbs/60 ml vegetable oil

Directions

Wash the spinach well and set aside

Peel ginger and cut into very fine slices.Stack a few slices together at a time and cut into fine julienne strips.

Over a medium-high heat,heat oil and butter in a pan large enough (with a cover) to hold all spinach.When oil is hot,put in fennel and cardamom seeds.Stir once and add onions and ginger.Stir and fry until onions turn a rich brown color.Now put in all the spinach,stuffing it into pan,if necessary.Cover,and allow the spinach to wilt completely.Stir every now & then.When spinach has wilted,turn the heat to medium,add salt and cayenne,cover and cook for 25 minutes.

Remove lid and add the garam masala.Stir and cook the spinach uncovered for 5 minutes,or until there is barely any liquid left in bottom of pan.

Serve as a side to a meat dish with rice or as part of a vegetarian meal.
