1. Place the spinach, cilantro, mint, onion, ginger, and garlic in a large saucepan. Add the water and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat to medium-low, cover the pan and simmer, until the onions are s6ft, about 10 minutes. Let, cool, then puree in a blender or food processor until smooth.
2. Heat the oil in separate large nonstick wok or saucepan over medium-high heat, add the flour and cook, stirring, until golden and very fragrant, about 1 minute. Add the milk in a thin stream, stirring constantly to ensure no lumps form. Slowly, while stirring constantly, add the pureed spinach and the garam masala, and mix well. Transfer soup to a serving bowl, add the yogurt, swirl lightly to mix with parts of it visible as a garnish, and serve.
