Yesterday night I made this & it was a new recipe I tried  and was really happy that it completely stole the show at the dinner.My hunt for making something different and for promoting spinach in my kitchen made me land up with this preparation.This curry is really simple to make but it takes a little time to prepare because you have to first make up the dumplings then roll them and then fry them after it you have to make the gravy.This way this curry would come out'fried green dumplings with white sparkling in the ocean of rich ,tangy and creamy tomato gravy 'and then you feel all your devoted time is totally worth.If you really want to impress your guests then make this fantastic curry and serve with Naan or Paratha.So what are you waiting for.Come on treat your self and make this beautiful koftas right away.....
