Looking at the picture, the onions are caramelised… should they go in before the spinach, to be browned off, rather than with it? Delicious anyhow!
Hi Pete, thanks for your comment. The onions look golden because they are coloured by the turmeric – they can all go in the pan together. But if you prefer your onions to be caramelised off first, be our guest! Enjoy.
