This is a staple dish in Indian restaurants. If you have a mixer, it will be quite easy to make at home. You can eat plenty of spinach and it is very nutritious!

If you use tofu do add the usual cheese at the end because the tofu might be tasteless. The longer you simmer, the better taste you will get. For 2 to 3 servings. Recipe by Yupochi
