White sauce serves as a good alternative for cutting out the unnecessary fat, giving body to the curry and also for making an economical recipe.


White Sauce
1 tbsp - Ghee or butter
2 tsp - Refined flour
5-6 tbsp - Milk
Little water


Method:
Heat oil in a pan and saute the vegetables till pinkish. Make sure they are cooked but firm enough to bite into.

White sauce
Heat butter in a pan and add the flour.
Keep stirring and gradually add the milk and water.
Let the mix come to a boil then turn it off and add to the spianch. However make sure there are no lumps formed or else blend it before adding.

For better results use a mix of cream and white sauce.

Spinach
Add boiling water to a pan or pressure cook the spinach for 7-8 mins on a high heat.
Once cooked remove and run the spinach under cold water. This will give spinach a bright green colour and better flavour (as is the case in most restaurants). But the nutrients will get destroyed. Alternatively if you do want to preserve the nutrients, then leave the spinach as it is.
Then, blend the spinach and green chillies in to a fine paste. You can use the water in which it was boiled. But sparingly.
If you want a medium curry then keep the water aside and add it as the end.
Heat ghee in a pan add bay leaf and fry the ginger, garlic till colour begins to change.
Add onions and fry till golden brown.
Add the spinach, garam masala, cream and salt. Let this mix cook on a low flame for 2-3 mins.
Add the vegetables cook further about 5 mins.
Add the water to get the desired consistency.
Sprinkle fenugreek powder and serve hot.

Fenugreek
Heat a pan and add the fenugreek powder and keep tossing it till a little fragrant and colour change (about a minute). Then remove and using your fingers just crumble it and then add it.

You can replace the vegetables with cottage cheese potatoes, peppers, corns.

Cottage cheese
If at all you use cottage cheese then make sure you chop and briefly fry them. But do not allow them to brown.
As soon as you drain and remove them. Drop them in hot water.
Squeeze out each piece and then add it in the curry.
