You Will Need (13 things)

Steps (9 steps, 60 minutes)

  1. 1

    Boil chopped spinach alongwith ginger for 10 minutes.

  2. 2

    Heat oil,add seeds of cardamom,cloves & pepper corns.Add ground onion,tomato paste & stir on low flame for 5 minutes.

  3. 3

    Add dried fenugreek & stir till oil starts seperating like this

  4. 4

    Add dried mango powder.Add boiled spinach & cook for 2-3 minutes.Remove from fire.Let it cool.

  5. 5

    Meanwhile chop the cottage cheese into small pieces like this

  6. 6

    Cool & blend the spinach for a few secods,do not grind it too fine.Now add 1/2 cup of milk if you find it too thick & simmer covered for 2-3 minutes.

  7. 7

    Now beat the fresh cream with a fork & add it to the spinach on low fire.

  8. 8

    Add the cottage cheese pieces,give it a boil.I prefer adding salt at this last stage as I get a better idea of the quantity after the spinach has been simmered,besides the milk & cream do not curdle!!!!!

  9. 9

    Simmer for 2 minutes & transfer it to a serving dish & TaDaaaaa.............you are done!!!!!!!!!!
