• Put the spinach in the skillet and sauté till the spinach leaves wilt and all the excess water has evaporated from the skillet.
  
  
  
  

• Finely chop the garlic clove while the spinach gets cooked.
  
  
  
  You should have about a teaspoon of chopped garlic.

• Once the spinach is done, add the garlic and the diced onion.
  
  
  
  Sauté till the onion becomes light brown in color.

• Now add the egg whites and scramble them with a spatula in the skillet till they get partly cooked.

• Add the cottage cheese to the above mixture and continue to scramble.
  
  
  
  Make sure all ingredients are mixed well.

• The cottage cheese might make it look watery, but continue to cook for about 3 to 5 minutes till the cheese starts bubbling and evaporating. (If drier cottage cheese is used, it will not get as bubbly or as creamy.)

• Once you get a creamy but firm texture, remove the skillet from heat.

• Add salt to taste.

• Remove on to a plate and serve hot.
