I was looking on internet for some healthy recipes when I came across this one and must say though initially I was a bit skeptical but the end product was just too yummy. I had never imagined Palak Kadhi specially when my entire childhood has been Punjabi Pakora Kadhi but the recipe looked convincing enough to give it a try so I went ahead with this Sanjeev Kapoor’s recommended recipe. Palak or Spinach goes very well with yoghurt that’s another reason I add yoghurt in Palak Paneer too. So as my husband was out of town and I was little reluctant to get into too much of cooking this came as a quick fix. All I had to do was run the grinder and couple of ingredients to get tasty Palak Kadhi ready with steamed rice. To top it all my four year old went gaga over it and kept asking for more.
Any which ways when my husband is not around it’s my son who helps me suggesting if the food is good enough to be blogged or not and this time it was a clear pass. So I can gladly add it here for you to try and enjoy this super-fast dish for those days when you want some healthy but tasty food too in hardly 15 to 20 mins.
