  • 1 (16 ounce) package cottage cheese
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cardamom
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped onion
  • 1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger root
  • 1 green chile pepper, chopped

  1. Mix cottage cheese, 1 clove of garlic, cardamom, and cloves thoroughly in a bowl. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.
  2. Heat the butter in a skillet over medium heat. Stir in the onion, ginger, green chile pepper, and 2 cloves of garlic; cook and stir until the onion has softened and turned translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in the spinach and cook until just wilted. Drain any excess liquid, and serve the spinach mixture over the seasoned cottage cheese.
