Spinach/Palak is one of wonderful green-leafy vegetable often recognized as one of the functional foods for its wholesome nutritional and rich source of anti-oxidants vitamins like vitamin A, vitamin C. It is also good source of omega-3 fatty acids.
Although it can be stored inside the refrigerator for up to a week, fresh leaves should be eaten at the earliest in order to get maximum nutrition benefits.
So, here I am sharing my new and healthy version of palak idli, last weekend at home as a evening snacks with roasted chana dal & coconut chutney and fresh Orange Juice...my whole family really liked it and appreciate it, so I want to share my recipe with my readers, followers and friends.
