Put about one liter of water to boil. While its getting heated, wash the spinach and keep them in a big vessel. Empty the boiling water on the spinach.

Finely dice the onion and ginger.

Drain the hot water and let the spinach sit in a colander.

In a pan heat some oil, saute the onion, ginger, cumin, coriander seeds and onion seeds. Use medium heat. When the raw smell is gone, put them in a blender. Let them cool for sometime.
