Spinach – Tomato Curry
Yummy Combo of Spinach and Tomato

I usually add Spinach to dal which makes it a very delicious side dish. Sometimes I also make simple curry with the combo of spinach and tomato. This is a very quick dish with very little work and tastes super delicious.

It really taste good..but people say that we are not supposed to eat tomato and spinach together as they may from stones in the kidney..Just an advice..:)

Wow, I never heard of this before. I always combine spinach and tomato. I searched for answers about this, but found none. I feel it is just a misunderstanding. Thanks for your advice though :)

I heard about not combining spinach and cucumber together as it will destroy the vitamin C absorption as spinach contains a higher level of Vitamin C.
