turmeric and keep aside.

After the mustard seeds pop, add dried red
chillies, rice or urad dal (taste differs for both) and curry leaves.

When the rice
puffs up or the urad daal turns light brown, add chopped spinach

spinach has wilted.
-
Stir in
the coconut mix and cook on low heat for 4 to 5 mins. Stir
occasionally. (Do not cover the skillet and do not add water -
it will get soggy)

Serve hot with rice.
