- clean and wash spinach thoroughly
- put spinach to boil in large pot, add a little more water than you think it will need
- add the cut tomatoes to the pot
- mince one clove of garlic and add it to the boiling water
- cover and cook on medium flame - don't rush it
- cook about 30 minutes
- pray a large pan with some PAM
- in the meantime, roast the cumin seeds in a little pan until you smell the fragrance
- brown the onions with the remaining clove of garlic, the ginger, the ground cumin, and the roasted cumin seeds
- by now the spinach and tomatoes should have cooked
- pour the spinach and tomatoes into the pan with the onion mixture
- let it cook together and feel the fragrance
- once the flavors blend, let the veggies cool off a bit
- you can add salt after or before it has cooled off
- put all of it in the blender--don't waste any of the broth, blend it as thick or as fine as you wish
- taste it while it is still in the blender and now is a good time to add a little Walden Farms Alfredo sauce for creaminess and thickness
- adjust the seasonings to taste
- if you want it thicker to use at a dip, blend in some avocado
What Roopa does is make a thick puree with one avocado and then bite-size pieces of the avocado. Gives it a wholesome feeling. You can add more Walden Farms Alfredo Sauce to make it creamier.
If you love tomatoes, edit out the spinach and follow the same recipe.
