For spinach lovers, this makes a delicious side dish to an Indian meal, or can be served with rice or Indian breads.

Wash Spinach: Begin by washing the fresh spinach thoroughly in several changes of water to remove any grit or impurities. Drain well.
Prepare Skillet: Heat the ghee and peanut oil in a large skillet or wok over medium heat until hot and shimmering.
Sauté Onions: Add the sliced onions to the skillet and stir-fry until they turn golden brown and caramelized, about 3-4 minutes.
Add Aromatics: Stir in the minced garlic and grated ginger, and continue to stir-fry for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Spice it Up: Sprinkle in the cumin seeds, ground cumin, ground coriander, ground turmeric, chili powder, and salt. Mix well to combine with the onions and aromatics.
Incorporate Spinach: Carefully add the washed spinach to the skillet. Use tongs or a spatula to toss the spinach with the onion-spice mixture until it begins to wilt.
Cook Spinach: Reduce the heat to low and let the spinach cook uncovered, stirring frequently, until it’s fully wilted and cooked through, about 3-5 minutes.
Adjust Consistency: If the spinach starts sticking to the pan, add a little water, about 1/4 cup at a time, to create steam and prevent sticking.
Serve Hot: Once the spinach is tender and cooked to your liking, remove from heat. Transfer the spicy fried spinach to a serving dish and serve hot with steamed rice or Indian breads.
