3. Add the chopped onion and sauté for a while.
4. Add the chopped spinach, cover with a lid, and cook for 7–8 minutes without adding any water.
5. Once half-cooked, add salt and sugar and mix well.
6. Once done, add the grated coconut and remove from the flame.
7. Add the lemon juice and mix well. Serve with rice or chapathi.

Tips

• Cooking the spinach covered without added water helps retain its color and flavor better.
• Add the lemon juice only after removing from heat, so the flavor stays fresh rather than turning bitter from overcooking.
