"Saute medium" is a medium in which you can saute: butter, oil, maybe ghee
here. It's your choice.
E.g., "Heat saute medium in saute pan (over medium heat) and saute medium
onion in saute medium."
Not sure about "sks" in this context.

Ahhhhh.... I see - 1 "Saute medium".... I was
looking at it like -- 1 Onion - medium... !!!
It means some vegetable oil (or whatever) -
definitely a UK/US problem...
In the UK would never, refer to it in that way... :-)
I wonder what the [sks] stands for... fascinating...
Many thanks for your help...

SKS: sweet kisses, silly; some knife slices; seriously kind strangers;
sinful kids' swill.
Just guessing, of course.

The recipe sounds very tasty - I shall make some this week. spinach is
delicious in curries like lamb and spinach too.
I also would have been confused over the translation, it has been
solved admirably! A little canola oil and a tsp of mustard oil would
be my choice of medium.
Cheers

What a week! I meet a woman named Xanthippe (a first for me) and a
Bronwyn and a Bronwynn on the internet. All in one week!
Regarding this recipe. I'd lower the heat and give those onions a little
longer cooking.
You could add a few mustard greens, cut into thin strips, to this. I'd
leave the stems on the spinach. If you have a little too much water at
the end, add a teaspoon at a time of cornmeal, and cook, stir, and
thicken. Add another teaspoon if necessary.
All of the above learned from Panjabi cooks.

Ha!
