Method
step 1
Heat the ghee or butter in a frying pan over medium-high heat. Stir in the onion and mustard seeds and fry for 5 mins, until golden around the edges and the mustard seeds are popping. Mix in the ginger, garlic, green chilli and tomato purée. Cook for 4-5 mins, until fragrant and caramelised.
step 2
Stir in the remaining spices, fenugreek leaves, if using, and frozen spinach with a splash of water. Leave to simmer for 10 mins, until the spinach has completely defrosted and the liquid has thickened and reduced. Stir through the beans and lemon juice, then season to taste. Serve with chapatis and mango chutney.
