Sri Lankan Spinach Curry Recipe

Ingredients
  • Spinach – 2 bunches (about 1kg after clean)
  • Onion – 100g
  • Garlic clove – 3 or 4
  • Green chili – 3 or 4
  • Turmeric powder – ½ teaspoon
  • Thick coconut milk – 150ml
  • Lime – 1
  • Salt – As you want (KETO people use the Himalayan Pink Salt)
Notes

1. Sometimes, the Sri Lankan spinach bunch contains grass and weeds. You have to remove them carefully.
2. You don’t need to shred the spinach into tiny pieces. Since we are going to mash them at last, cut them into large pieces.
3. I instantly made coconut milk. If it is hard, use the bottled coconut milk or coconut milk powder.

Instructions

1. Slice the garlic and green chili. Also, chop the onion and prepare thick coconut milk. Besides, get ready with lime, turmeric powder, and salt.
