Beetroot Carrot Kofta in Spinach Gravy

Me and my husband completed our 5 years of marital bliss, I love him totes and enjoy cooking for him. We were swarmed by work so just decided a quiet dinner out and a movie, somehow lunch time we both ended up at home and how could I not make something special for him and thats when I came up with this curry under 30 Min.

It is just an extension of my Beetroot kofta currry but I have removed potatoes and added carrots to make it a little more healthier version.

So here it goes, this recipe serves 2-3
