Saag Indian Spinach

An indian spinach dish similar to that served in indian restaurants. this is great as a main course or served as part of a larger meal. serve with basmati rice and a little raita if you like. the dish is also great with the addition of paneer cubes or boiled potatoes - though i love it plain.

Steps

In a large saucepan , saute onion in oil on medium high along with ginger and garam masala until onions are translucent and begin to pick up some color.
Add minced garlic to pan , and cook briefly to soften.
Do not allow the garlic to burn - lower heat if necessary.
Add tomatoes and cook for 2-3 minutes.
Incidentally , you can add a little more or less tomato depending on what you have available , slight differences in quantity will not be noticeable.
Stir in yogurt.
Do not worry if the yogurt separates.
Add curry powder , coriander , cumin , sugar , and salt.
Add bag of frozen spinach and mix well to combine.
There is no need to defrost first if you use a the bagged spinach.
If you are using the frozen block , i would advise defrosting first.
You can also use the equivalent of fresh spinach.
Add about a cup of water to the pot and cover.
Simmer on medium for approximately 30 minutes.
Spinach is done when the color has changed from the initial bright green to a much les.
