"Indian cuisine consists of thousands of regional cuisines which date back thousands of years. The dishes of India are characterised by the extensive use of various Indian spices, herbs, vegetables and fruit. Indian cuisine is also known for the widespread practice of vegetarianism in Indian society. Each family of Indian cuisine includes a wide assortment of dishes and cooking techniques. Indian cuisine also varies from region to region, reflecting the varied demographics of the ethnically-diverse subcontinent." - Wikipedia
This dish might be desecrating the ancient and sacred food practices of many Indian family recipes. But not all of us have time/ skill/ magic hands and must resort to refrigerator goodies.
1 bag of fresh spinach
1 cup of milk
half of an onion
clove of garlic
curry powder
queso fresco to taste
butter
flour (for thickening)
couscous or white rice
In a large saucepan blanch all the spinach (put spinach in hot salted water and take out once wilted). Take out and set to the side. Once cooled, cut into small slices. In the same saucepan melt a tablespoon of butter and slowly caramelize sliced onions and garlic with salt and pepper. Then add the milk, a ton of curry powder and let boil. Once slightly thickened add the flour little by little to thicken the mixture even more. Then add the spinach and let simmer. Add milk if too thick, if you do make sure to add more spices. Cube up the queso fresco to taste (watch out, it can get pretty salty). Mix and season to taste. Serve over couscous or white rice
