Heat 2 tbsp of the oil in your largest pan, sprinkle in the cumin seeds and let them crackle for a few seconds. Add the chopped onion and the mushrooms and cook for 10 minutes, stirring frequently, until the onion has softened and is starting to turn golden.

Fry the onion slices slowly with the turmeric in the remaining oil until the onion is golden brown. Serve the spinach hot, sprinkled with the onions.
