Step:

  1. Heat some oil in the pan and add the cumin seeds

  2. A minute later add the onions, green chillies, ginger and garlic paste and sauté until the onions are soft

  3. Next add the tomatoes and the masala powders

  4. Add a little water and let this cook for a couple of minutes

  5. Spinach cooks realllly fast, so add that and let it wilt slightly

  6. Add the beans and cook until the spinach is fully cooked

  7. Add some salt and bit more water if needed

  8. Also if you need to add a bit of the masala powders to balance the taste do that, and let it cook for a little bit

  9. My curry did not have a thick consistency

  10. If you want it thick, just mash a bit of the chick peas and it should thicken up

  11. Serve hot with some rotis or rice

  12. Now wasn't that simple for a quick dinner menu during a busy work week :)
