Note: I have read yet another recipe of Cheerapoovaali in the August 15 – 31, 2014 edition. The main difference is that tomato is not used in its preparation. Ingredients remain the same with slight differences in quantity; such as 3 big spoons of oil, 3 sliced onions, 8 green chillies, 1 coconut and 3 small spoons of vinegar for 1 bundle of spinach.
