A 20-minute saag-style creamed spinach with garam masala and a jalapeño kick
Ingredients
- 16 oz fresh baby spinach
- ¼ cup water
- 1 tsp olive oil
- 1 medium tomato, diced
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1 tsp garam masala
- 1 tsp jalapeño, finely minced (fresh or pickled)
- ½ tsp turmeric
- ½ tsp fresh grated ginger
- ¼ tsp salt
- ¾ cup heavy cream
Directions
- In a large skillet, sauté the spinach in the water over medium-high heat until wilted, about 5 minutes. Remove and set aside to cool.
- In the same pan over medium heat, add the olive oil, tomato, garlic powder, onion powder, garam masala, jalapeño, turmeric, ginger, and salt. Cook about 5 minutes until the tomato is soft, smashing it into the pan with the back of a wooden spoon.
- Squeeze the excess water from the cooled spinach and chop it. Return it to the pan, stir to combine, and heat through.
- Reduce the heat to low, stir in the cream, and cook until heated through, about 5 minutes. Serve immediately.
Chef's Tips
Squeeze the cooled spinach well — extra water thins the sauce. Smash the tomato into the pan with the back of a spoon to break it down.
