Notes

1. When you grind spinach for puree, can add fresh red chillies or green chillies and tomato puri also, mix well and blend well.
2. I have added half spinach leaves and half spinach puri in the gravy, if you want can add only spinach puri also.
3. I have added baby spinach leaves as a whole, but you can chop it or slice it and put it in the gravy.
4. If the gravy thickens can add more water and cook till your consistency comes.
5. I have added in this garam masala also, but while frying the onion paste you can add green cardamom – 2, cloves – 3, cinnamon stick – 2, it is optional.
6. When the mutton is tender in the onion and tomato mixture, you can serve it with plain rice or roti (chapathi).
7. If you want can avoid spinach and spinach puree, as this gravy tastes really good as any curry, just add kasoori methi at last and cook.
8. I have used babby spinach, you can use ordinary spinanch also.
