I mainly lurk here, but I thought this meal came out well, and I happened to have my camera on me.

Spinach:

boil 1 packet of frozen CHOPPED spinach with 1 tsp salt, 1 tsp turmeric until the spinach is limp

while it's boiling, mix 1/2 carton of plain yogurt with 1/2 tsp cumin, 1/2 tsp methi, 1/4 tsp chili powder, beat it until it doesn't have any lumps left

combine the two, MAKE SURE THAT THE YOGURT DOESN'T CURDLE. A good way to ensure this is to make the meal in this order: (1) put spinach / water on the stove (2) do everything else but turn off the spinach when it's cooked so that it can cool down (3) just before serving, mix the cooled down spinach / yogurt and stir quickly so that it's not too hot.


Keema:

chop 1/2 large onion and fry

when it gets brownish, add 1 tsp ginger / garlic paste, cook it in

add 1 lb ground beef (or lamb or turkey) along with 2 heaping tablespoons corriander, 1 tsp chili power, 1 tsp salt, 1 tsp turmeric, and cook

drain fat as needed

when the meat is cooked, chop 1/2 tomato into large pieces, add to the mixture along with 1 tsp garam masala, cook this in until the tomatos are soft



The rice is just one of those boxes of flavored rice, but plain rice works well for this meal.
