The name itself spells magic. This is one recipe that is close to my heart. Infact the white sparkling balls of Cottage Cheese dunked in Spinach Greens holds a special place in everyone's heart. It's the most loved dish in every Indian household. The luscious and creamy gravy will leave you spellbound with every single bite. Relish this Indian magic food with any of your favourite Bread as well as Pulaos or any of the Rice preparations. The Cheese is also homemade and fresh. That is why I shaped them into balls instead of cutting into cubes. And this dish wins hands down when it's made for any competition either at home or in any party. Happy Cooking Everyone!

Homemaker by choice and a passionate cook by heart. An aspiring cook who actually never knew anything about Cooking until i became a mother myself.With Motherhood came the responsibilities as well and this was the turning point in my life.I started to learn the ABC's of cooking, taking help from my mother and my MIL. And time just flew. I spread my wings higher and higher. With my love for excellence and innovation, i stepped into a world of homecooks with my exposure to Cookpad one fine day on the social media. And there was no looking back since then and i have not only shared recipes here on this wonderful platform but also have made some lovely friends as well. Today iam successful because of my hard work, dedication and loads of good wishes of my family and my kids in particular.
