One of the reasons ,why my husband loves eating out apart from the delicious food ofcourse is , he gets to eat a new innovative form of some of the dishes tried at the restaurant , at home!
Thats precisely I love trying newer courses , when I eat out. I love trying to replicate the meals , at home ,ofcourse with my own twists!
Makai Palak Chaman , is also one such innovation , derrived from the Kashmiri Palak Chaman , we had at Pancham restaurant , last week. I just loved the way a palak paneer combination was presented.
I tried it out , adding some small sweet corn koftas to the creamy palak gravy. It was delicious!! And the koftas had seperate takers too..... had to make a fresh batch to add to my palak gravy!
Ingredients:
For Palak Gravy
1 Bunch Spinach or Palak (Picked and washed)
1 Small Chopped Onion
2 tsp Ginger Garlic Paste
1/2 tsp Red chilly powder
1/2 Tsp Turmeric
1 tsp Garam Masala

1 tsp Coriander Powder
1 tsp Cumin seeds
