How to Prepare Creamy Coconut Spinach Dip [Vegan, Gluten-Free]

First you need to thaw spinach. Discard any excess water.
Then, chop onion and use garlic press to crush garlic cloves. Alternatively use frozen pre-chopped onion and chop garlic into really fine pieces.
Next, in a small skillet or pot heat 2 tablespoons of water. When it starts to sizzle, add onions and garlic, mix briefly, cover and sauté over medium heat for 3 minutes.
Then, add turmeric, stir and pour in coconut milk.
Bring to boil before adding spinach. Stir, bring to boil and simmer until spinach is cooked, about 3 minutes.
Finally, season with Himalayan salt, black pepper and garnish with some chilli flakes.

Notes

You can also use fresh spinach instead of frozen. However, if you want the final result have a dip consistency, chop the spinach finely before cooking. Should you want wilted spinach instead, throw the leaves in as they are. When using fresh spinach, boil it in a separate skillet for one minute, drain the boiling water (it contains acids) and mix the spinach into the other ingredients.
