This is an old recipe.

Now, this is no novelty and must have been prepared by many before mine and with many different versions.Mine again is cooked with whole wheat flour as most of my preparations are and was first made without any reference ,as a result of sheer boredom with the regular spinach meals.I did although make a few experiments to enhance the taste and bring it nearest to our Punjabi/North Indian flavors.What it is it with Punjabi flavors? you must be thinking.Now,may be our Punjabi food or may i say our north Indian food is so rich in texture and taste that sometimes we just find a dish incomplete without those spices…at least we do.Now, i have just tried to merge in the two worlds ,i mean the two cuisines and bring out the best for us.And I can say that after eating it everyone relished it .The buttery shortcrust pastry base complimented the rich buttery and moderately spicy filling very well.

Now, this recipe is prepared with all the richness which of course enhances the taste and look of the dish.But if you are calorie cautious then you may substitute butter with margarine and cottage cheese with low fat paneer / cottage cheese or tofu.
