Spinach kadhi or palak ki kadhi is combination of fresh spinach leaves cooked with yogurt, gram flour and spices. Spinach has a rich source of minerals and proteins. As kids, we were not preferred to eat green vegetables, but My mom always tried to use green leafy vegetables especially spinach in curries and kadhi. Palak ki kadhi is really spicy and delicious in taste and good accompaniment with rice and puris. Kadhi is yogurt based curry which serves with rice, khichdi and pulao but my father and uncles mostly like to eat puris with kadhi. I prefer to use baby spinach leaves for kadhi and gravies which are tastier and can be eaten raw.
