• 2 teaspoons cumin seed
• 1 pound chopped fresh spinach
• 0.5 cup butter

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Melt butter in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat; cook and stir turmeric, cumin seed, chile pepper, and garlic until fragrant, about 2 minutes.

Step 2

Stir in chopped mustard greens and spinach a little at a time, adding the tougher stems and thicker leaves first. Cook and stir until greens are thoroughly wilted.
