Palak Kadhi Recipe

Palak Kadhi Recipe

Try this healthy variant of the delicacy with the goodness of the iron-rich palak in it. Palak kadhi has a unique flavor and appealing color contributed by spinach puree. You could alternatively finely chop the spinach and add to the regular kadhi for a bite and body. Enjoy hot with steamed brown/red rice or multigrain phulkas.

Ingredients to make Palak Kadhi

  • 3/4 cup low-fat curds (dahi)
  • 2 tbsp besan (Bengal gram flour)

  • 3-4 curry leaves (kadi patta)
  • 1/4 tsp grated garlic (lehsun)
  • 2 tbsp spinach (palak) purée
  • salt to taste

  2. Add the ginger-green chilli paste and green paste and mix well. Keep aside.
  3. Heat a deep non-stick pan on a medium flame and when hot, add the mustard seeds, cumin seeds, fenugreek seeds, curry leaves and asafoetida and dry roast for about 30 seconds.
