Cooking Steps
Heat oil in a pan over medium heat.
Add asafoetida, cumin seeds. Sauté for a minute until they become aromatic and start to splutter.
Add the finely chopped onion and sauté until it turns translucent.
Stir in the ginger-garlic paste and cook for another minute until the raw smell disappears.
Add the chopped tomato and cook until it becomes soft and mushy.
Reduce the heat to low and add the Kashmiri red chili powder, turmeric powder, ground cinnamon, ground cardamom, ground cloves, ground black pepper, and salt. Mix well and cook for a couple of minutes to blend the flavors.
Add the chopped spinach and sauté for about 3-5 minutes until it wilts and starts to cook down.
Pour in the water, stir, and cover the pan with a lid. Let it simmer on low heat for about 5-7 minutes, or until the spinach is tender and the flavors are well combined.
