This is quite an unusual recipe. It is an Indian style spinach sauce that is meant to be a side dish - but we find it really delicious over pasta. We normally use silverbeet for this - but spinach is good too. You can use butter if you don't have ghee.
Ingredients:
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/2 tablespoon ground coriander
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/8 teaspoon nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon turmeric
1 teaspoon garam masala
3 tablespoons water
4 tablespoons ghee or 4 tablespoons butter
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 garlic clove (crushed)
1/2 bunch spinach (finely chopped) or 1/2 bunch silver beet (finely chopped)
1 teaspoon salt
250 g light sour cream
Directions:
1. Combine first seven ingredients. Melt butter in heavy frypan, add spice mixture and garlic and cook for 2 minutes.
2. Add spinach, sprinkle salt on top and cook for a few minutes, covered. Stir in sour cream and heat through.
3. Serve over pasta (penne is good).
