Notes

NOTES
1. Do not cover the pan with a lid. It will spoil the colour of spinach.
2. Instead of butter to saute mushrooms, you can use oil as well but butter will enhance the taste of the dish.
3. Turameric is usually avoided to the spinach based curries because it may affect the colour of the dish.
4. Spinach being bit bitter by default and addition of fried onion causes the dish to be little strong in taste. If you have issues with such a strong taste, you can avoid adding fried onion. Alternatively you can add fresh cream (vegan) and bit of sugar in it at the last stage.
