Spinach is a great way to get your greens and is choc-full of all the good stuff. It may not be everybody's favorite veggie, but that is probably thanks to the unimaginative way it is often cooked! Here is a host of recipes that I often use to cook this leafy green. The result? My normally picky five-year-old loves spinach!
A hot favorite North Indian dish! This mildly flavored dish is super healthy too. If Paneer is not on hand or you want a dairy-free option you can also use tofu or veggies like cauliflower or potato.
I love this Daal for two reasons - it's tasty and filled with good stuff! Daals are great, healthy food by themselves, but with the spinach in this dish, things only get better!
Serve Paalak Ka Raita with your favorite daal and plain boiled or fragrant rice for a lovely vegetarian meal!
Spinach and Minced Meat Soup is delicately flavored with cumin and ginger and can be served as an appetizer or teamed with crusty bread or plain boiled rice as a whole meal.
This delicious and nutritious Indian bread tastes great with yogurt and Aam Ka Achaar (mango pickle) or Andhra Tomato Pickle.
Sai Bhaaji is a typical Sindhi (western Indian) food. I got this recipe from my Editor (at my first job!) Sheila Shahani. This is how she makes it in her home. The greens and veggies in it make it a healthy meal choice. Serve Sai Bhaaji with hot Chapatis.
Quick to make and good to eat is the perfect caption for Palak Ki Subzi! This is a tasty vegetable dish and it is full of good nutrients too. Palak Ki Subzi takes just about 10 minutes to make!
Team Chicken Saagwala with hot Chapatis (Indian flatbread) or Parathas (pan-fried Indian flatbread).
A tasty alternative for those who love kababs but are vegetarian, Hara Bhara kabab gets its name and green colour from the healthy spinach in it.
