Saag Feta

Inspiration

1/4 cup ghee

2 Tbsp coriander seeds

2 green cardamom pods

saute until they are aromatic

Add;

1 diced onion and cook until translucent

Stir in;

1 minced garlic clove

1 Tbsp chopped ginger

1 pound of fresh spinach

Once the spinach has wilted, take the pan off the heat, add a chopped Serrano chile, a quarter tablespoon of lime juice, and a teaspoon of salt, then throw everything in a blender and blitz into a chunky paste. Add that mixture back into your pan on low heat, along with a half cup of water, and fold in 6 ounces of feta cut into cubes. While that warms up, in a small pan or butter warmer, add two more tablespoons of ghee and a teaspoon of cumin seeds on medium-high heat. Once the cumin seeds start to brown, add a pinch of red chile powder, and pour the spice-oil mixture (that’s the chhonk!) over the top of the saag paneer. Serve with rice or roti.
