Spinach chutney | palakura pachadi | palak chutney

By swasthi , on May 31, 2019, 38 Comments, Jump to Recipe

Spinach chutney or palakura pachadi can be made of any variety of spinach including palak. This palak chutney recipe is shared with me by Naina Ravi, a reader of this blog. During a chit chat on facebook, I got hooked to her idea of spinach chutney when she said that she made paneer paratha and palak chutney to accompany it. When asked she expressed her wish to share the recipe with us and hence this post on the blog.

I often make palak paratha, pappu palakura and palak chutney was very new to me. After a few days, I received these awesome pictures from her along with the recipe.

Naina Ravi is a homemaker and a mom to 11 year old daughter. She is happy to share with us all an appealing and nourishing recipe, spinach chutney. Spinach can be used in salads, pasta, soup, chutnies and many more. It has vital nutrients like heart healthy folate, cell protecting vitamin E and Lutein, which may help to reverse the symptoms of age-related macular degeneration.

There are many folks, who do not use much of coconut in their cooking. This is for them: The health benefits of coconut are immense, would like to share few which we often overlook

1. Prevents wrinkles, sagging skin, and age spots.
2. Improves calcium and magnesium absorption and supports the development of strong bones and teeth.
3. Helps to prevent osteoporosis and breast, colon, and other cancers.

So if you are not in the habit of using coconut, begin to use in recipes like this.
spinach chutney tastes great with palak or palakura, but can be prepared with any other variety of spinach too.

    Though for some recipes I can omit coconut milk others surely tastes better with it. Most of my Asian dishes require coconut milk and I am fine with it, though such dishes are not very often eaten.<br /><br />I am trilled to see such an amazing recipes and yes, never knew that spinach can be used for chutney. But its so inviting and hard to resist. Lovely and so tempted. Will try.
