Instruktioner

Bring a large pot of water to a boil over high heat. Add spinach, stir and cook for one minute. Drain in a colander, pressing on the spinach with the back of a spoon to release as much moisture as possible. Set aside.

In the bowl of a food processor, pulse the walnuts and garlic until ground fine and the consistency resembles wet sand.

Scrape down sides of bowl and add the spinach and cilantro. Pulse until well-combined and homogenous.

Transfer contents to a large mixing bowl and add vinegar, coriander, blue fenugreek, cayenne and oil, stir to combine. Add salt and pepper to taste. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate mixture until it is firm, about one hour.

With clean hands, shape the pkhali into small balls, 4-6 in total depending on the size you prefer. Garnish with pomegranate seeds, serve and enjoy!
