Preparation

  1. For best taste always use young and tender palak. Check each spinach leaf for worms. Pluck only the leaves and discard the stems as they may leave a bitter taste.
  2. Take a large pot of water, and addd them. Rinse them well few times & drain to a colander. Allow the water to drain completely otherwise it will let out lot of moisture.
  3. Heat 1 tsp oil in a pan. Fry green chilies and spinach for 2 to 3 mins until the leaves wilt off thoroughly. Do not overcook. OR another option is to blanch the palak in 4 cups of hot water with ¼ tsp salt for 2 mins. Then immerse in ice cold water. Drain completely.
  4. Cool & blend chilies, palak & cashews to a smooth puree in a mixer jar

  2. Next add ginger garlic paste and fry until the raw smell goes away
  3. Then put in tomatoes and sprinkle salt. Fry till they turn mushy
  4. Then add kasuri methi & garam masala. Saute until the mixture leaves the sides of the pan
