Tomato Curry with Coconut and Spinach

A thick tomato based curry with spinach and ground coconut, spiced with garlic, cumin and chillies and finally tempered with mustard seeds. In this recipe all the ingredients are cooked in boiling water and finally tempered and so this curry can be prepared in few minutes. Serve with dosa or rice. Happy weekend to all my readers.
