Notes
- Add water if you think the gravy is too thick
- Sugar helps to retain the green color in spinach
- To make rich Can add milk/fresh cream/coconut milk to the gravy
- Whole spices (bay leaf, cinnamon, cardamom etc) can be added
- Butter can be added for flavour
- Tomatoes can be added while cooking onion
- As chat masala already contains salt adjust the salt accordingly
