Greens with Garlic and Raisins

I make mine the easy way, dumping frozen spinach, onion, raisins, and spices into a crockpot. This is the recipe that I used for inspiration. Greens with Garlic and Raisins
Makes:4 servings Garam Masaala 1 tablespoon cumin seed 1 teaspoon cardamom seeds (removed from pods) 1/2 teaspoon whole cloves 1/2 teaspoon black peppercorns 2 dried bay leaves 2 three-inch cinnamon sticks, broken Greens 2 tablespoons vegetable oil 1/2 cup golden raisins 1 small to medium red onion, cut in half, thinly sliced 5 medium cloves garlic, coarsely chopped 1 bag (12 oz) washed fresh spinach 1. Heat ungreased 6-inch skillet over medium-high heat. Place all garam masaala ingredients in skillet; roast 2 to 3 minutes, stirring constantly, until seeds crackle, spices turn one shade darker and the mixture has a nutty, sweet aroma. Transfer to bowl; cool 3 to 5 minutes. 2. Place roasted spice blend in spice grinder. Grind until mixture looks like the texture of finely ground pepper. Store in airtight jar at room temperature for up to 1 month; beyond that, it will start to lose its full flavor. Makes 1/4 cup spice blend; use 1 teaspoon for this recipe. 3. In wok or deep 12-inch skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Add raisins; stir-fry about 1 minute or until raisins plump up. Add onion and garlic; stir-fry 2 to 3 minutes or until onion is golden brown. Stir in spinach; toss 2 to 3 minutes or until wilted. Stir in 1 teaspoon garam masaala and salt. Cook 1 minute.
