Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Heat the 2 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium. Add the 1 sliced onion and cook until soft and golden, about 8 minutes.

  2. Step 2

  3. Step 3

    Add the 3 cups baby spinach and stir until wilted, about 2 minutes. Taste and adjust salt.

  4. Step 4

    Serve the curry over the 2 cups cooked rice, with a lime wedge if you like.
