Directions
Heat vegetable oil ( I use grapeseed or canola oil) in a large flat bottomed skillet and fry the mustard seeds, cumin seeds and urad dal. Add the asafoetida, chili flakes,the other powders, and give a quick stir.
Add the green tomatoes ( a bit of diced fresh ginger and fresh cilantro adds a complex bouquet of flavors) and stir for a minute.
Now add the spinach and lightly salt it and toss gently till it begins to wilt.
Cover and cook for 2 minutes till the spinach is just done.
Serve as a side dish plain, with a drizzle of plain yogurt or with a dollop of greek yogurt.
