Indian inspired Creamed Spinach

I was craving a little hint of Indian flavor in a dish today and happened to have some Spinach on hand that needed to be used so I came up with this inspired dish....

Indian Inspired Creamed Spinach

1/2 Cup onion, thinly sliced
3-5 cloves garlic, diced
6 Tbs. butter
4 Tbs. whole wheat flour
1 1/2 cups whole milk
1/2 tsp. turmeric
1/2 tsp. salt
1/8 tsp. ground pepper

1. Saute onion and garlic in butter for a few minutes. I add the garlic slightly after the onion so it doesn't burn.
2. Add the flour, salt, pepper and turmeric. Combine well and bring to a nice creamy and bubbling consistency.
3. Add milk. Stir and heat until thickened.
4. Add spinach and stir into creamy sauce until limp. Serve hot.

-You may want to double the sauce ingredients, and serve it over brown rice or rice noodles :P
