Palak Sabji Recipe, How to make sautéed Spinach Curry

When I think of making really quick and healthy curry, the very first thing comes to my mind is green leafy vegetables. It hardly requires effort and gives the benefit of taste and nutrition.

Palak sabji is one of them. It is very simple and quick curry made with fresh spinach. This sautéed curry tastes amazing when served with Indian bread. I have served this curry with Bajra roti/bhakri.This is a flat bread made with millet flour. 

Step by step palak sabji recipe:

1. Rinse the palak thoroughly 2-3 times and drain. Chop it and keep it aside.
2. Place a pan on stove and pour a tbsp. of oil in it. Once oil is hot, add cumin seeds and hing/ asafoetida. Let the cumin splutter and then add finely chopped green chili, minced garlic and grated ginger. Fry it just for 5 seconds.
   
3. Add chopped onion. Fry the onion till golden.
   
4. Add in the spices- turmeric powder, coriander powder and red chili powder. Mix it.
   
5. Add the chopped palak/spinach and combine all the ingredients well.
   
6. It won’t take longer for the palak to cook. Once it is cooked, add garam masala and mix and cook for 2 minutes.
   
7. Turn off the heat and serve.
