1 Melt butter in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat; cook and stir turmeric, cumin seed, chile pepper, and garlic until fragrant, about 2 minutes.
2 Stir in chopped mustard greens and spinach a little at a time, adding the tougher stems and thicker leaves first. Cook and stir until greens are thoroughly wilted.
3 Stir in ground cumin, coriander, and salt. Cover, reduce heat, and simmer until greens are tender, about 10 minutes; add water as needed to keep greens moist.
