  • Add a dash of water and ensure that the onions and garlic are fully sautéed. This should take approximately 5-7mins
  • Add in your herbs, spices and salt then simmer these on a medium heat for 5 mins. Add a dash of water if the mixture dries out.

  • Add in chopped spinach and cook for approximately 10 mins. Continue to cook this to achieve a drier consistency if this your preference. Serve and enjoy!

Notes

  • Sabzi/sabji powder is a complex blend of various spices and herbs. You can buy this from most South Asian food stores and it's an absolute must for pretty much all Pakistani/Indian vegetable based dishes that will feature on my blog.
