Step 1: Heat the ghee/oil in a wok over medium-high heat. Add the two spices and cook, while stirring, for about 1 minute. Now, add the onion, serrano pepper, almonds and dried cranberries. Stir-fry over high heat for 5 minutes, or until the almonds turn golden and the onions are cooked through.

Step 3: Ad the spinach and 1 tablespoons soy sauce. Stir-fry until spinach is wilted, about 1-2 minutes. Taste test; add another tablespoon of soy sauce, if needed.
