Palak Ki Kadhi (Spinach Kadhi) is a healthy dish. Generally we add pakora to the Kadhi but this Kadhi has lots of spinach instead. There are two ways of adding spinach to the Kadhi. Either you add chopped spinach to the boiling Kadhi or blanch the spinach and then saute before yogurt is added.
Don’t miss on the tempering as it takes the Kadhi to next level. Enjoy this Kadhi with Khasta Roti, Tandoori Roti, Paratha or even steamed rice.
Dark leafy greens like spinach are important for skin and hair, bone health, and provide protein, iron, vitamins and minerals.
