Buttered Spinach Indian Style recipe

ingredients

2 3/4 lb (1.2 kg) spinach
2 medium-sized onions
1 tsp finely chopped fresh ginger
1 - 2 small green chilli peppers
5 tbsp ghee (clarified butter)
scant 1 tsp cane sugar
3 1/2 fl oz (100 ml) garam masala
salt

Serve with:

pilau rice

method

1. Trim the spinach, removing the stalks and central ribs; wash the leaves very thoroughly. Drain in a salad spinner and shred into a chiffonade.

2. Peel the onions and chop very finely; trim the stalks from the chilli pepper, remove the seeds and chop the flesh finely. Fry all these chopped ingredients gently in the ghee for 5 minutes in a large saucepan, then add the spinach, a pinch of salt and the sugar.

3. Cook over a moderate heat, stirring continuously for 2-3 minutes. Pour in the stock, stir briefly, cover and simmer for 5 minutes.

4. Take off the lid and cook while stirring for a few seconds to reduce excess liquid.

5. Draw aside from the heat, sprinkle with the garam masala and serve with pilau rice.

How much stock

The instructions say to add in the stock, but there is no quantity in the ingredients list
Weak Recipe

Unfortunately there is nothing Indian style about this recipe and it is nothing special. The added ghee content just makes the entire thing unhealthy and heavy in calories.
I strongly disagree about sprinkling garam masala powder after the cooking procedure. The spice powder needs to be cooked and so it has to be added way before (in step 3). And add stock!?!! hmm very odd indeed.

I totally agree. Five tbsp.. of butter is good way to block up your arteries.
