Place it on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
Remove used oil from the frying pan and leave 1 tbsp of oil for sauteing.
In the same pan, saute garlic and onion.
Add coconut milk, ginger, water, salt, and Malabar spinach. Bring to a boil then lower heat to simmer for 2 minutes. (Please do not leave your pan unattended, coconut mixture may rise up and overflow).
