We usually prepare the same red gravy with onions, tomatoes or a white gravy with cashew nuts, melon seeds or a green gravy with coriander leaves. Here is a recipe for Spinach gravy, which is a healthy and good variation to the usual gravies that we prepare. You can add koftas, soya chunks, paneer, chicken, meat, mushrooms, fried potatoes, and so many other vegetables to this gravy.
Spinach is a rich source of iron. So now if your kids say no to spinach you know what to do, just prepare this gravy and add your kids favorite vegetables like potatoes, mushrooms, koftas or paneer and they will love it.
