ABOUT Chickpeas in Spinach Gravy RECIPE

Normally we cook chickpea as Chole Masala (Chickpeas cooked in onion-ginger-garlic gravy with lots of spices). Palak/Spinach is one of my favorite leafy vegetable. I thought why not combine this two ingredient together. If you notice, I have not added ginger paste in this recipe as I feel ginger does not go well with Spinach whereas garlic complements well with spinach and enhance the taste. Normally when I cook leafy vegetables I avoid adding tomatoes instead I prefer to add lime juice to get the tanginess in the gravy.
