We lightened up this cheesy spinach Indian classic for half the calories with all of its original flavour intact.

Ingredients

Olive oil

2 tsp(s)

Whole milk ricotta cheese

4 oz, ricotta salata, cut into 1/2-inch cubes

Onion

½ cup(s), minced

Garlic

2 clove(s), large, minced

Ginger root

1 tsp(s), grated

Cumin seeds

1 tsp(s)

Ground turmeric

½ tsp(s)

Fresh spinach

10 oz, fresh, leaves, rinsed

Table salt

¼ tsp(s)

Instructions

  1. Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add cheese cubes and cook 1 minute per side, until golden. Remove cheese with a spatula and set aside.
  2. To the same pan, add onion, garlic and ginger; sauté 2 minutes. Add cumin and turmeric and stir to coat.
  3. Add spinach and cook 2 minutes, until leaves wilt, stirring constantly. Stir in salt.
  4. Return cheese cubes to pan and cook 1 minute to heat through. Yields about 3/4 cup per serving.
