About

This is a most delicious dish, which you can rustle up for a more exciting lunch or supper. We have it with warm Indian bread or the flat pitta breads which are widely available nowadays.

Ingredients

1¾-2 lb (750-900 g) fresh or frozen spinach
1-inch (<

Method

Wash the spinach and remove the stems. Chop the ginger, the seeded chilli and the garlic together finely. Cook the spinach in a little salted water for just a minute or two until limp (if using frozen spinach, simply thaw). Drain the spinach well, pressing out excess water, and cut up finely.

Put a fairly large, shallow serving dish in the oven to get warm. Heat
