Perhaps the speediest way to cook a spinach curry, this stir fried soy sauce base recipe sure turns out quite tasty and handy when time and patience are running out.
Spinach, being abundantly packed in vitamins and minerals, provides benefits for almost each and every part of the human body.
Starting from the hair, spinach is rich in vitamin A , which in turn helps produce sebum, which keeps the hair moisturized and hence healthy. Vitamin A also helps in improving body tissues. Now, who wouldn't want a head full of healthy hair and beautiful skin ;) .
High iron content also helps prevent hair loss (perhaps a major issue nowadays).
Potassium helps high blood pressure patients lower the pressure while the fiber content makes spinach a favorite among patients suffering from constipation.
Spinach also helps maintain bone health due to the presence of Vitamin K. Further, the chlorophyll enhances cancer prevention to a great extent.
Perhaps, it would be right to say, a bunch of these greenies a day would help keep the doc at bay ;) .
And of course a big thanks to Mr. Popeye... the sailor man ( :D :D ), for making it ever so popular.
Ahh! The countless dishes that the quintessential palak/spinach has provided - Be it the very cheesy palak paneer or the tangy palak kadhi, the finger licking lasooni palak or the palanga besar, each one packed with the goodness of spinach.
A twist from the regular Spinach -
