Method
Boil sufficient water in a deep non stick pan. Add the spinach and when the water comes to a boil again, drain the leaves and dip them in iced water. Heat two tablespoons oil in a non stick pan. Chop fifteen to twenty garlic cloves. Add the cumin seeds to the hot oil and sauté till well browned. Add the garlic and sauté till browned. Add the onion and sauté till lightly browned.
