Palak Kadhi (Spinach In A Yougurt Gravy)


Kadhi can be made many ways as per your choice , i usually make the more traditional way which is also called kadhi pakora but when i don't have enough time to make pakoras then i make little variations, like i added spinach in this kadhi recipe which makes it more healthy and also gives very nice flavor to the gravy
