Anda Palak curry or Egg spinach curry


Looking out for some real healthy food- Anda palak curry loaded with goodness of iron and protein is here for you. We all drool over the veggie’s delight “palak paneer”, but palak or spinach goes exceptionally well with non- vegetarian stuff also. I remember eating the luscious mutton palak cooked with desi ghee at Connaught place, Delhi and it was just amazing. I have paired palak with dals..chicken..corn and everything has turned out well. So in this recipe the lovely pairing of “egg” and “palak” has been done- The result is utterly butterly egg curry. Do try the recipe and let me know if this pairing excited your taste buds.

Sauté it well and after it turns translucent add the ginger garlic paste and fry it well till the raw smell disappears. Then add the tomatoes, mix it well and add the chicken masala, chili powder, salt and drizzle the pan with little water. Cook the masalas well for about 15-20 minutes, till thin layer of oil appears on the sides of the masala. After that add the palak paste and cook for 5 more minutes. Add eggs and water, as per your desired gravy consistency; let it simmer for 5 more minutes. Finally sprinkle some garam masala and add butter to it. Switch off the flame and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.


Anda Palak curry tastes best with rotis and zeera rice.
