A delightful and creamy spinach curry with a touch of Indian spices, perfect for a comforting meal.
Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Ensure the oil is hot enough before adding ingredients to enhance the flavor.
Add the chopped onion, garlic, ginger, and green chili to the skillet and sauté until the onion is translucent.
Stir frequently to prevent the garlic from burning.
Add the spinach to the skillet and cook until wilted.
Cover the skillet to speed up the wilting process.
Add the spices (garam masala, turmeric powder, coriander powder, cumin powder) and salt, and mix well.
Toast the spices briefly to release their aroma.
Blend the mixture to a smooth consistency using a blender or immersion blender.
Allow the mixture to cool slightly before blending to avoid splatters.
Return the blended mixture to the skillet, stir in the cream, and heat through.
Do not boil the mixture after adding cream to prevent curdling.
Serve the creamy spinach masala hot with your choice of bread or rice.
Garnish with a sprinkle of garam masala or fresh cilantro for added flavor.
