Lovely curry! I used frozen spinach and cooked out the onions for while before adding garlic, ginger, chillies and then finally the spices, before the spinach. I also added a couple of tomatoes. No thymol seeds sadly, but still very nice. Served alongside Chana Dal, Rice and Roti.

This was outstanding even with frozen spinach. Not having the green chilies, I opted to use 1 dried red chili. I did use a package of frozen spinach that had been defrosted and most of the excess water removed. This was served as a side with Goan Beef Curry. It made 3 nice servings.

I really liked this recipe. I used a whole bag of frozen spinach (6 cups), doubled all the other ingredients, and omitted the salt and the thymol seeds. It was the perfect compliment to lentils with basmati rice. Next time I may add some minced garlic.
