I have never enjoyed spinach so much as I do now! All because of this recipe which turned things around. If you are cooking for someone who doesn’t enjoy greens, try this and they might have a change of heart. The versatile gravy makes it usable with both egg and paneer depending on your choice. I prefer the egg as a healthier option. I like to enjoy this with some phulkas :).
