Notes
This spinach variety takes a little extra time to cook, compared to the other types of spinach which are usually softer. This variety is also a bit crunchy with a slightly bitter taste. So the extra cooking is necessary to reduce the bitterness and make it softer. You may have to add a some drops of water is the bhaji is drying a bit. Once the bhaji is cooked, it will have pleasant taste and the cooked onion would have added a bit of sweetness to it.
If you are using a glass pie dish, decrease the oven temperature by 25 degrees F once you start baking your quiche.
