Instructions:

In a large pot, bring water to a boil. Add the chopped spinach leaves and blanch them for 2-3 minutes. Drain the water and immediately transfer the spinach to a bowl filled with ice-cold water. This will help retain the green color of the spinach. Drain the water again and blend the spinach into a fine puree using a blender.

Heat oil in a pan over medium heat. Add cumin seeds and let them splutter. Add chopped onions, ginger paste, garlic paste, and green chilies. Saute until the onions turn translucent.

Add chopped tomatoes, salt, and all the spice powders (coriander, cumin, turmeric, and red chili powder). Cook until the tomatoes turn mushy and oil starts to separate from the mixture.
