Ingredient Quantity Notes
Fresh spinach leaves 4 cups Washed and finely chopped
Garlic cloves 6 cloves Finely chopped
Butter 1 tablespoon
Salt To taste
Black pepper powder ½ teaspoon
Mixed herbs ½ teaspoon

Instructions:

  1. Heat the Butter: In a large frying pan or wok, heat 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat.

  2. Sauté the Garlic: Once the butter has melted and is hot, add the finely chopped garlic. Sauté it for about 1-2 minutes, until the garlic turns lightly golden brown and releases its aroma.

  3. Cook the Spinach: Add the chopped spinach to the pan. Stir well, and cook the spinach for 3-4 minutes, or until it wilts and softens. Stir occasionally to ensure the spinach cooks evenly.

  4. Season the Stir Fry: Once the spinach is tender, add salt, black pepper powder, and mixed herbs. Stir well to combine all the ingredients, allowing the seasoning to coat the spinach evenly.

  5. Serve: Turn off the heat and serve the Spinach Stir Fry with Garlic immediately.
