Any recipe by Madur Jaffrey is great. This is a simple one I made last night(my husband is Indian and only eats Indian at home!) I made it with Rainbow Chard but you can use any greens, like spinach, You take about 3 tablespoons of oil, heat in a large pan(I use a wok like thing I got at Ikea) , add 3 dried red chilis and 1 tablespoon of cumin seeds, fry for a minute or so until the chilis change color, then add the greens(a large bunch), cook until all the liquid evaporates.
Sel Bhindi(okra and onions)
2 tsp corriander powder
1 tsp chili powder
1 tsp salt
1 tsp turmeric
3 tbls oil
1 lb okra, topped and tailed then sliced in half
1 onion sliced in thin half rings
fresh coriander chopped
Combine the spices in a little bowl and set aside. Heat the oil in a big nonstick pan(I use my wok that I got at ikea) when hot fry okra until brown in spots, then add onions, cook until the onions are brown in parts and on their way to being well cooked, add spice mixture and cook for about 5 more minutes(until spices are cooked)
Aloo Gobi
1 large Cauliflower(leave it whole, cut off the green leaves etc)
1 large Onion(diced)
4 medium potatoes(peeled and cut into quarters)
½ tsp mustard seed
½ tsp cumin seed
1 tsp. Red chili powder
4 curry leaves
3 cloves garlic
1 tsp corriander powder
salt
turmeric
fresh corriander leaves
In large pan with lid(again I use my nonstick wok) heat oil then add seeds(mustard, and cumin) and curry leaves, fry until seeds pop, then add onions, fry for 2 minutes, then add turmeric/salt/chili powder/ garlic /corriander powder. Add diced potatoes and fry until crispy. Once potatoes are browned, add cauliflower and 1 cup of water. Cover and cook for ten minutes(I usually flip the cauliflower over after about 5 minutes). Once the potatoes are soft(you mayneed to add more water) uncover and fry constantly mixing. Once cauliflower /potatoes are cooked, chop then up and add corriander leaves
