There are many ways of preparing this recipe- one is dry version (without gravy) and another is with gravy. Here is one delicious version with gravy. In this recipe the spinach is pureed, not being chopped. The recipe which I am sharing today is made with No onion, No garlic and No tomatoes. You can cook it with the use of onions, ginger, garlic and tomatoes as well.
