Palak Chicken Curry Recipe

A new post and its another successful and healthy dish following my recipe of Hariyali Chicken, and yes its healthy Palak / Spinach Chicken!
Yes,I added wonderful Spinach to Chicken and made an awesome recipe which is happens to be so hit with kids.
These kind of combo recipes, I have started to try at home,just so that everyone eats vegetables.
Interesting part being here is that ,they work so well that you cannot say no to this as you are eating your favorite chicken curry!

Since,I had told last time that I am trying to add vegetables in Chicken recipes as otherwise my family does not prefer to eat it. So, since I am desperately trying to include veggies and fruit in our diet some or the other way as that is something we are lacking behind on. And that's too much to miss.
