instructions
    1

    Start by rinsing the spinach thoroughly in water to remove any dirt, then chop it roughly and set aside.

    2

    In a pan, heat 2 tablespoons of oil over medium heat. Add 1 teaspoon of cumin seeds and allow them to sizzle for a few seconds until they become fragrant.

    3

    Chop 1 onion, 2 cloves of garlic, and 1 piece of ginger. Add them to the pan and sauté until the onion turns golden brown, which should take about 5 minutes.

    4

    Chop 1 green chili and add it to the pan, cooking for an additional 2 minutes for the flavors to meld together.

    5

    Next, add the chopped spinach to the pan along with salt to taste. Cook for about 5 minutes until the spinach is wilted and any excess water has evaporated.

    6

    In a bowl, crack 4 eggs and whisk them lightly. Pour the whisked eggs over the cooked spinach mixture in the pan. Allow the eggs to cook for about 8-10 minutes on low heat, stirring occasionally, until they are fully cooked.

    7

    Once done, turn off the heat and let it cool slightly before serving.
