Palak matar | Spinach green peas curry-How to make-Step by step photos & video

Cuisine Style: North India | Cooking Time: 15 minutes | To Serve: 4 | Type: Gravy | Take With: Roti,Chapati,Paratha,Naan,Rice

Spinach and green peas are best combination for gravy. It is bright green curry within 10 to 15 min. I didnt add cream or tomato. Instead of cream i added cashewnut paste for creaminess and richness. For rich earthy flavour i used kasoori methi [dried fenugreek leaves] . It is perfect side dish for rice, chapathi, naan, kulcha, idli or dosa
