1

Heat the avocado oil (or ghee or butter) in a large thick-bottomed pot such as a Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the ginger, garlic, green chili, and asafetida. Sauté, stirring constantly until fragrant, about 2 minutes.

2

Transfer the chopped onion, coriander, garam masala, turmeric, and kashmiri red chili powder to the pot. Continue sauteing, stirring occasionally, until the spices are very fragrant, about 10 minutes.

3

Stir in the heavy cream.

4

Add the chopped spinach to the pot in three batches, stirring very well in between each batch.

5

Allow the spinach to cook down a little before adding more so that the pot isn’t overflowing. Once all of the spinach is in the pot, cover it with a lid for a few minutes to encourage it to cook down.
