A fast dish to make, once the ingredients are in order. Adapted from a Martha Stewart Recipe published in 1996. Not too spicy, a nice side for Tandoori Chicken, but make sure the leaves are good and dry or it will turn out too wet.

SPINACH WITH INDIAN SPICES



Spinach With Indian Spices image

This is a wonderful accompaniment to a variety of curry main dishes. It was fairly simple to prepare. It will definitely become a regular at our house. The original recipe called for double the amount of spinach, but I only had 1 lb, and it turned out wonderfully. Other greens with stems removed may be substituted. Adapted from Cooks Illustrated.
