Its not only taste great but also nutritious. Spinach is extremely healthy and linked to numerous health benefits. Eating spinach may benefit eye health, reduce oxidative stress, help prevent cancer, and reduce blood pressure levels. Spinach is an extremely nutrient-rich vegetable. It packs high amounts of carotenoids, vitamin C, vitamin K, folic acid, iron, and calcium. Source – Healthline

Recipe
Egg – 3-4
Or
Grated paneer or cottage cheese – 1/2 cup
Onion – 2 finely chopped
Butter or oil – 1&1/2 tablespoon
Spinach leaves – 200 gram
Oil – 1 teaspoon
Cilantro or coriander leaves – 1 cup, chopped
Garlic – 3-4 cloves
Ginger – 1 inch piece
Green chilli – 2 or to taste
Coriander powder – 1/2 teaspoon
Cumin powder – 1/2 teaspoon

Method
1. Rinse the spinach leaves well and chop roughly.
2..Heat 1 teaspoon oil in a pan. Add cleaned, washed and chopped spinach leaves and saute till moisture evaporate and spinach dried up. Remove from heat and let it cool down. You can also use boiled spinach leaves instead of sauteed if you want.
3. Grind sauteed or boiled spinach leaves, chopped cilantro or coriander leaves, ginger, garlic and green chilli. Make a smooth paste.
4. Heat oil or butter in a pan. You can use half oil and half butter. If you are using only butter, add 1 teaspoon oil with butter to prevent burning the butter. Add finely chopped onion and fry till onion starts to change it’s colour.
5. Now add the green paste and saute till raw smell of garlic goes away.
6. Add half cup water and let it boil. Grate the boiled eggs and add. Or add grated paneer or cottage cheese. Or you can use 1/4 cup grated paneer with grated eggs. I sometimes do so.
7. Mix and cook on simmer for 5-6 minutes or till you get your desired consistency.
8. Crush the Kasuri methi with your palm and add in the curry. Mix and remove from heat. Serve with any Indian flatbread or toasted bread.
Notes
1. Vegetarian people can use paneer to cottage cheese instead of eggs.
2. You can use less or more eggs as per your convenience.
3. Use chilli according to your spice tolerance. You can use more green chilli if you want your curry more spicy.
4. Olive oil can be used instead of butter.
