1 small piece of fresh ginger - 1 big garlic pod - 1 green chilli(Jalapaeno/ serrano peppers)
1 white Onion (cut into cubes)
1 Tomato (cut into cubes)
1/4 teaspoon Garam Masala (Indian spice for extra hot soup)
2 teaspoon of Olive oil

1/2 teaspoon Cumin seeds
1/2 teaspoon mustard seeds
1/2 teaspoon turmeric
Serving options -
Lemon juice

Kruti-
Make a paste of ginger/garlic/Jalapeno. You can use a mortar pestle for best results.
Heat oil (1 teaspoon) and add half of the ginger-garlic-greenchilli paste.
Add the onions and the tomatoes.
Saute them for a while and once they soften, let them cool down.
Use a grinder to blend them into a puree. Keep it aside.
Now, use the grinder to puree the fresh bunch of spinach (yes, raw), slowly, adding little water.
Tempering Process-
Heat one spoon of ghee and add the tempering trio ingredients - cumin-mustard-turmeric
Once they start to splutter, add the remaining ginger-garlic-chilli paste, and then the tomoato-onion puree.
Add bit of Garam Masala (optional) and pour in the spinach puree.
Let it come to a boil, add salt and let it cook for 2-3 steams on low flame.
After it cools, down, stir in some lemon juice and decorate it with some cream circles.
Have it with you favorite bread, with yoghurt on the side. yummm!
This is pure saag of spinach(sure to cleanse your stomach the next day, coz you can drink it like soup, straight)
Also, you can add, cooked potatoes, fried paneer(cottage cheese), or small onions and cherry tomatoes per your liking and make it a meal.
Two advantages of spinach - Natural laxative and rich source of iron.
