Indian Saag

Description

The other day, I walked past a produce stand that was selling pillow-sized bags of spinach for like $2. How the hell could I pass that up? So on the way home, I tried to figure out what I'd do with it. Well, Indian saag of course! I did a little bit of research & here's what I came up with. I couldn't find mustard leaves, so I read that you could substitute it with collard greens. So I boiled about a pound of spinach & a pound of collard greens, threw it into a blender, & pulsed it until it became paste-like without turning into a smoothie. Minced half an onion (not called for in the recipes I read, but it made sense to me), 2 cloves of garlic & a seeded green chili pepper. Cooked it for about 2 mins in the pan with 1/2 cup butter, 3 tsp ground cumin, 1 tsp coriander (that I manually grounded), 2 tbsp of turmeric & 2 tsp of salt. When that turned semi-pastey, I poured in the spinach/collard greens paste & cooked it for 10 mins. I actually then had to cook it longer bc I added too much water when I had it in the blender, so I let it reduce down until it became more viscous. Served with a buttery piece of naan. yOm!
