I used 2 bunches of the red leafy spinach to make this thoran but you can use any. A mix of green leaf and red leaf spinach works well too and gives an interesting taste to the dish.
Grind coarsely - 4 cloves garlic, 1/2 cup grated fresh coconut, 1/2 teaspoon turmeric and 1/2 teaspoon red chilli powder. Keep aside.
Heat 1 tablespoon of oil, when hot splutter 1/2 a teaspoon of mustard seeds, a few curry leaves, add one dry red chilli, broken in half.
Add chopped spinach , and 2 green chillies chopped finely. Add salt, cover and cook for 5 minutes or till the steam rises.
Add the ground masala, stir, cover and cook again for 5-8 minutes on a low flame till spinach is cooked. Open pan and stir till the water dries.

Pardon the ignorance, but how long till the "spinach is cooked"?
Sorry for not specifying. I have edited the blog post to mention it needs another 5-8 minutes after adding the ground masala. After that open covered pan and dry up any water.
Came across your blog via Is My Blog Burning? Very nice idea to have a tomato curry with meat on the side for veg/non-veg.
Thank you. May the rays from a thousand suns brighten your Life! :)
