During Summer vacation…I got a strange phone call for my Cooking Class enrollment. Though I have 5 different programs to choose from, She asked me for that particular dish ‘Paalak Chicken Curry’. Later when the couple came to my class…I happened to discover, they tried this dish in a restaurant and ever since, they had special cravings for it. They were more than excited to find out my class. Though it was first time, for me to fix this dish, it turned up really good and Katherine and Nan, really appreciated my effort.
Paalak Chicken Curry:
Spinach Chicken Curry. Paala Keerai-Kozhi Curry.
Ingredients:
Spinach 2 bunches – blanch the leaves
