    Notes

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