Approximately after five to ten minutes when the aroma of spinach starts wafting out from the vessel just turn off the flame and allow it to cool down. Then plop the boiled veggies in a blender along with the water and blitz for one or two pulses and keep it aside.

Meanwhile, heat the pan again and tip in half a tablespoon of butter and when it melts down, add a bay leaf, clove, a piece of cinnamon and an anise to it. Now squirt in the blended spinach into the pan and stir in for a while. Sprinkle the required salt and let it boil in high flame for a minute or two and when it turns aromatic just lower the flame. Now using a slotted spoon take out all the tempered ingredients as the essence of all the aromatic agents would have got seeped in.
