Servings: persons

2 bunches fresh spinach
1/2 cup shallot, minced
2 garlic cloves
2 tablespoons butter
1 pinch white pepper
1 teaspoon black pepper, freshly cracked
fenugreek leaves (methi)
1 teaspoon turmeric
1/2 teaspoon curry powder
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
1 -2 dried red chili
2 tablespoons parmesan cheese or 2 tablespoons gruyere cheese

1
Boil about a quart of water and add salt liberally. Once the water comes to a rolling boil, add the spinach and reduce heat to medium . Cook for 8 minutes, then drain and set aside. Chop when cooled.
2
In a medium saucepan, add 1 tablespoon butter or ghee. Sautee shallots and garlic until soft, about 5 minutes.
3
Add the spinach and cook for two minutes or until the juices release. Then add the spices and the rest of the butter and stir, allowing about 30 seconds to a minute for them to begin releasing their flavor into the mixture. Add the cream and raise the heat, continuing to stir. Reduce the liquid to half so the mixture has a creamy rather than soupy consistency.
4
Allow to cool, pour into bowls and sprinkle with the cheese. Then enjoy. Or just throw it in the trash or see if your dog will eat it.
