Notes

  1. I have used frozen corn so I didn't steam them. If you are using fresh corn, steam them before adding
  2. Add water if you think the gravy is too thick
  3. Sugar helps to retain the green color in spinach
  4. Green peas, tofu/ paneer can also be added
  5. Can add milk/fresh cream/coconut milk to the gravy
  6. Whole spices (bay leaf, cinnamon, cardamom, etc) can be added
  7. This gravy goes well with any variety of rice like fried rice/ pulao as well as with naan/rotis
  8. Butter can be added for flavour
  9. Tomatoes can be added while cooking onion
