Notes
1. If you do not find garlic and cumin feta cheese you can use the regular ones too. However, before sauteeing onions just add minced garlic first and saute until raw smell goes.2. Any other seasoning of your choice can also be used like pizza, dill leaves etc. 3. You can also add paprika or red chilli flakes to make it more on the spicier end.Feel free to chop the spinach first and then add to your pan if you do not like to eat the entire leaf
