Creamy Palak Soup

-

To begin with, I would like to highlight the health benefits of palak or spinach leaves. Research has proved that dark green palak leaves are rich in chlorophyll. it is very important to improve the eye sight, cataracts and macular degeneration. 

Also, dark green spinach leaves are rich in iron, low in calories and excellent source of vitamins. In conclusion, I would not hesitate to call spinach leaves as nutrient dense food.

We will make Palak or Spinach Soup today, basically a thick liquid food prepared from blending spinach leaves with onions.

Prep Time : 5 minutes

Cooking Time : 10 minutes

Servings : 02

INGREDIENTS

  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 2 tej patta / bay leaf
  • 0.5 onion (finely chopped)
  • 2 clove garlic (finely chopped)
  • 2 bunch palak / spinach leaves
  • 0.5 cup water (to blend)
  • 1 cup milk
  • salt to taste
  • 1 tsp pepper (crushed)

Furthermore, add onions and saute till it turns golden brown.

Add palak leaves. Make sure to cut the stem and clean before you use.


Saute on medium flame for a minute till they shrink in size.
Allow to cool completely and remove bay leaf.

Now further transfer the blended puree to the same kadai and add half a cup of milk.

Yummilicious Carrot Kheer

 In the southern part of India,  kheer  is called  payasam  or payasa, meaning milk.  The difference between the  kheer and payasam  are that  payasam  is typically made with jaggery and the consistency is usually thinner. Few people call this sweet-dish as Carrot Payasam, however, we will not add jaggery to this and this will be thick and yummy like Kheer.  ๐Ÿ’ Let's get started ! Warm 2 tablespoon Ghee We will use the same ghee for frying the dry-fruits and for cooking the carrots. I have taken almonds and raisins, you may also add cashews. Remove the dry-fruits and now add grated carrots in the same ghee. Cook on medium flame and keep stirring occasionally till the carrots changes its color. At this stage you can either choose to add khoya or cornstarch (mixed in a little milk) to make the consistency thick OR you can keep it cooking and stirring for some extra time, like what I did ๐Ÿ‘ธ Try making this yummilicious kheer and share ...
