This was slightly different than the way I'd been making it, and it turned out great. It's fairly easy too. The original recipe is here:

One small mistake I made was not clean out the veggies thoroughly, so got a slightly sandy texture. Next time, make sure to wash the green very well.
Finely chop one bunch of mustard leaves (the big curley ones you get in the US), and 2 bunches of spinach (I used fresh bunch instead of the usual packets). You're also supposed to add Bathua, which I think is Choli, but I didn't have it. Do not grind the greens. Chopping gives a nice texture to the final dish. Make sure to remove tough stems. Also finely chop the following: red onion, tomatoes, ginger, garlic (lots of it), fresh green chillies, and cilantro. Do not used GG paste. In a big pot, add clean green veggies with some water (till its barely submerged). Add half of the chopped ginger and garlic, all of the green chillies, red chilli powder, salt and haldi. Let it cook without covering, till the greens are soft. In another pot, prepare tadka: ghee + ginger + garlic, brown. Add onions. Saute, then add tomatoes, salt, red chilli powder, haldi, cilantro (no other spice is required). Let the oil separate. Once the greens are cooked, and most of the water is evaporated, use a mandhani (or in my case, hand blender), to crush some of the veggies (you do want to keep the texture). Add the tadka and cook for a few minutes. Add handful of Makke ka atta and let it cook for a few more minutes. This makes the dish come together and get creamy. Serve with Makke ki Roti
For Makke ki roti:
Makke ka ata (I also added some chapati flour), Ajwain, Cilantro, salt and oil. Knead the dough with warm water. Make rotis using a plastic wrap and roast it using some ghee.
