Spinach Curry/Palak Curry


SPINACH CURRY/PALAK CURRY  
                  
I would like to share one of my favorite recipes here. This is very famous in Coimbatore. My Granma and Mom  make it often. Actually when I was kid they used to get palak in our garden during rainy season. They call it as rakiri . Now we are not that getting particular variety, so we use to do it with palak. The main thing in this is coconut oil, its flavor adds taste to this curry. This recipe will take only 10 to 15 minutes to prepare. So for a busy lunch we can prepare this healthy recipe with in minutes. My kid loves this curry with ghee.. Let us see the steps for preparation.  

Palak Curry



Ingredients :


Small onions/Shallots         - 15 Nos. or Big Onion - 1 Medium
Green chilly                        - 4 (Small)
Spinach                               - 3 Cups (Tightly packed)
Coconut Oil                        - 1- 1.5 Tbsp
Salt                                     - As required


Steps :

1. Cook the spinach with 1/4 cup of water and keep aside.







2. Heat oil in a pan and when it is hot add green chilies and onion.




3. Saute till onion are translucent.


4. Blend the spinach and onion with salt once it cools down.





This will be a perfect combination to Brown/White Rice.. You can have any Poriyal for side dish. It also tastes good without any side dish.
