Add pureed spinach mixture and mix. Saute on medium heat for 2-3 minutes. Heat 1 tbsp oil in a small non stick pan, add tomato puree, salt and red chilli powder and mix. Add ¼ tsp garam masala powder to each spinach gravy and tomato sauce and mix. Cook for ½ minute and switch off heat from under both spinach gravy and tomato sauce.
