Serves: 5
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons oil
- 1 (15 ounce) can chopped spinach (drained)
- 3 -5 lbs ground chicken or 3 -5 lbs beef, thawed and rinsed
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 1 tomatoes, chopped
- 1 large potato, roughly chopped
- 2 garlic cloves, chopped or 1 tablespoon garlic paste
- ginger, chopped (optional) or 1 tablespoon ginger paste (optional)
- 1 jalapeno, chopped (optional)
- 3 tablespoons dried fenugreek leaves (not the seeds, NOT optional!)
- 1⁄2 teaspoon cumin
- 1 teaspoon cumin powder
- 1 teaspoon coriander powder
- 1 teaspoon turmeric powder (optional)
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste (optional)
- salt, to taste
- pepper, to taste
- 1 cup water
Directions
- Heat up the oil in a pot.
- On medium high heat fry the onions till they release their water and begin to shrivel.
- Then add the ginger, garlic, jalapeno, fenugreek, cumin, cumin powder, coriander powder, turmeric powder and chili powder. Slowly add about 1/4 cup of the water since the spices will pop and try to stick to the bottom. Cook and stir for approx 2-3 minutes.
- Then add the chopped tomato, stir and cook till it softens. (Tomato is added last because if you add it before it will kill the flavor of ginger/garlic in my experience).
- Add your choice of ground meat and potatoes with 1/4 cup more of the water, stir really well, cover and cook on medium for 15 minutes (add more water if you need to so it doesn't stick to the bottom).
- Add the spinach, tomato paste, salt and pepper to taste. Stir well again till it coats the entire mixture.
- Add the remaining water, cover and cook for another 5 minutes till the spinach releases any water and wilts down to a dark green.
- When done, turn up the heat to high and dry out any water in the pot. (This step is not necessary, my family prefers it a little saucy, my husband prefers it dry, just depends on how you want it.).
- Serve hot.
