Kashmiri Wazwan recipe, Kashmiri Haakh recipe. To cook it in a jiffy, I have used frozen spinach.

If using whole leaf frozen spinach, like I have done, this dish should not take more than 15 minutes including preparation. No chopping or cleaning of spinach required, just throw all the ingredients together in a pot and you have a wholesome, healthy, nutritious and delicious dish generously spiked with garlic and red chillies but since the  chillis are Kashmiri, the dish is not spicy hot!!  And if like me you have a batch of peeled garlic always handy, should not take more than 10 minutes!

Ingredients

• 2 tbsp. oil (mustard if preferred)
• 3 brown cardamoms, or 3 to 4 green cardamoms
• 10 kashmiri whole chillies
• 25 whole garlic, peeled
• 250 gms. whole spinach
• 1/2 cup water
• Salt to taste

1. Heat oil and add the brown cardamom, kashmiri whole chillies, whole garlic, whole spinach (saag), little salt and water.
2. Cook till done (in a pressure cooker for 1 whistle).
3. Serve hot.

P.S.: The quantity of red chillies may seem daunting but trust me the saag did not turn out spicy hot as would be expected because Kashmiri chillies as usual are mild.
