Palak and Sweet Potato, you must try this combination! It’s really tasty and make sure you dice the sweet potatoes evenly and cook them till they are light brown before you add spinach.
This gives sweet potatoes nice texture and you will enjoy every bite with spinach. This is a very simple way of cooking Spinach and you can’t go wrong with it. Since it doesn’t need lot of spices keeping it simple not just retains the over all taste but also nutrition. Generally we love Spinach with Paneer but then Iron and Calcium combinations aren’t really best choices however this combination comes very close to your palak paneer. If you want you can add some kasoori methi too, I however wanted to stick to pure spinach flavor and enjoy it.
Try this Palak and Sweet potato with simple roti or tandoori roti and you would make it again and again. Just for the ease of the recipe. Also do not over cook spinach , blanching just for 5 mins and then cooking with sweet potato for another 5 mins is all what is needed.
