Prepare the Onion and Spinach Mixture:
Start by heating 1 tablespoon of oil in a wide pan over medium heat. Once hot, add the finely chopped garlic and green chillies. Sauté for about a minute, making sure not to burn them.
Next, add the chopped onion to the pan and cook until it turns a light golden brown.
Add the chopped spinach and 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Stir occasionally and cook until the spinach wilts and softens. Remove from heat and let it cool completely. -
Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) to prepare for baking. -
Mix Wet Ingredients:
In a large mixing bowl, combine 1/2 cup oil, milk, and curd. Mix well until the ingredients are thoroughly combined. -
Combine Dry Ingredients:
In a separate bowl, sift together all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. -
Make the Dough:
Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, mixing gently to avoid lumps. Once combined, add the cooled onion and spinach mixture into the batter and mix well to incorporate. -
Prepare for Baking:
Grease a loaf tin with oil or butter. Transfer the dough mixture into the prepared tin, smoothing the top with a spoon. Drizzle the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil over the surface and sprinkle sesame seeds on top for a delightful crunch. -
Bake the Bread:
Place the loaf tin in the preheated oven and bake for 50 minutes. Check if the bread is done by inserting a skewer or toothpick into the center. If it comes out clean, the bread is ready. -
Cool and Slice:
Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool on a wire rack for a few minutes. Once cooled, slice it into pieces and enjoy.
