Step-by-step
- Heat the oil in a medium sized saucepan, add the cumin seeds and cook until they have darkened a little. Add the onion and cook until are soft and golden brown at the edges. Stir in the ginger and garlic and sauté over a gentle flame until garlic is cooked, about a minute or so. Add the spice powders, salt and a small splash of water and cook for one minute.
- Add the spinach and cook for a few minutes to incorporate all the flavours. The consistency should be creamy so add more water or reduce over a high heat as necessary. Taste and adjust the seasoning. Tear or crumble the cheese into the spinach and stir to incorporate. Warm through before filling your pancakes; serve hot.
