Spinach..Popeyes favorite munch is a really a jolly good fella.The fun part about spinach is that it blends in well with flavors.
It doesn't overpower any dish with its own flavor ,and does add on texture and feel to the dish.
The range of recipes which can add in spinach without changing the balance of flavor yet adding to taste immensely is vast.
Be it Indian recipes,Chinese ,Continental..Spinach is super versatile.
This leafy vegetable is a staple in our home.I buy spinach quite regularly ,almost once a week.And I make the dishes in bulk ,as my family is a spinach loving family :)
I make Pulao,dal,stir fry ,palak paneer and other subjis with spinach. While looking for a change,i stumbled upon a yummy recipe from Nisha Madhulika.Palak ki kadhi....wow.
