Take 200 ml water in a pan. Bring it to a roll boil. Turn off the stove. Add washed spinach leaves in it. Cover and rest for 5-10 min. Drain out water and make smooth puree once it cools down.
In the same pan, mix ghee and oil. Add the dry chilli and roast a bit on low flame till it's puffed a bit. Remove from oil and keep aside. Fry garlic in the same oil till it turns light brown. Remove some for garnishing.
Then add onions and salt. Fry it till the onions are translucent, light pink and tender. Add all the spices fry atill oil oozes and then add tomatoes. Cook till they get mushy and oil oozes the surface.
Add palakh puree. Combine well. Simmer for 2-3 minutes or untill it boils. Top it up with Kashmiri chilli and some fried garlic.
Note: 1. avoid using any mild variety of red chilli powder. Too much use of red chilli will make the gravy colour unpleasant. Spicy variety is recommended as a little of it will go a long way. 2. Do not add water. The consistency of the sabzi should be like the one in the pic below.
