Spinach with Feta Cheese

How to prepare spinach with feta cheese

1. Clean and wash the spinach. Put it in a pot of boiling water and let it cook for 1-2 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon into a blender (leave some water on it, don't drain it too much) and blend until it becomes a paste.
2. Prepare the masala: put the cloves, cinnamon, cardamom seeds, and hot pepper (with or without seeds) in a mortar and grind until they become powder.
3. Heat the oil, add the masala and sauté for a few seconds. Add the ginger-garlic paste and crushed garlic cloves and sauté for 30 seconds.
4. Add the onion paste, spices (cumin, coriander, turmeric), and passata. Mix everything and let it cook for 3 minutes.
6. Add the spinach, 100ml of the water it was boiled in, and salt to taste. Simmer covered over medium heat for 30 minutes. Check if it's reducing too quickly and add a little more water if necessary.
7. Turn off the heat and add the cubed feta cheese to the dish. Let it rest for 5 minutes.
