Palak Curry Recipe with step by step pictures. Spinach Gravy Recipe made with palak, onions, spices.
Palak Curry Recipe (Spinach Curry)
I bought a bunch of spinach before a week. And it was lying in my fridge so sadly till two days back. I want to use it in a yummy way so that everyone in my family love it. Yesterday I had a great adventure in my life. I have never ever seen a squid in my life till yesterday, I have thought that it is the most disgusting seafood in the entire world.
I made a simple yet yummy palak curry with those and served it with hot roti's and carrot raita. Hubby helped me with the carrot raita (Hard work isn't!!). And everything came together pretty good. So here you go to the recipe.

Hi AArthi.
About the squid episode i think you should have asked little help from your mother inlaw and if its not possible tell your husband to clean and bring the squids from where he buying.Cleaning the squids with the spoon is much easier than hand.Omg all ur life u will have to clean squids..i too dont like it .My parents do like a ambotik curry taste very nice with it.i just imagine ur plight.all the best.Love ya for cleaning the squids.

You and me both! I cannot stand the idea of squid. It's a good thing my hubby isn't crazy about them, I'd be in trouble then! My children like the fried calamari but I just let them eat that at a restaurant, I am still not going to fry squid!
I love palak but have never tried it like this. Maybe I will give it a go, your dish looks pretty yummy.
