  1. Will try this out next time and let you know how it turns out. One suggestion - Try roasting hand full of fresh coriander along with onion/garlic in the oil next time. I saute ginger, garlic, onion, green chillies, jeera and corainder in oil,grind it and then add palak to it. Comes out very yummy.
