Spinach (palak/paalak) is a treasure house of essential vitamins and minerals. So it must be included in the week’s menu a few times at least. The usage can be varied:
Chopped spinach leaves can be cooked with potatoes as a semi-dry side dish or sabzi like this Palak aloo.
A few spinach leaves mixed with vegetables and lentils like a warming soup is lovely on a cold winter night like this Palak chana dal here.
We can even make Punjabi style Palak paneer pudina which is really healthy or creamy Palak paneer malai.
