NOTE

* Tomato paste is made by grinding the roughly chopped tomatoes.
*Onion paste is also made in the same manner in which the tomato paste is made.
*If finding a difficulty to keep the balls intact being spinach mixture so dry and having an apprehension that the balls may break down in oil while frying, then add 2 tbsp of corn flour or all purpose flour or rice flour in a bowl and make a thick batter with water. Just toss the balls through the batter & keep aside for a minute & then fry.
