This quick and easy, no-fuss dish brings together three of your favourite ingredients – spinach, cottage cheese and green peas. A tempering of everyday ingredients and a dash of common spice powders gives the trio a fantastic taste, which combines beautifully with Indian breads of all kinds, be it rotis or phulkas .

This quick everyday subzi is a little watery because the spinach is cooked as such and not blended, but nonetheless it tastes too good for you to even think about the consistency. Relish it fresh off the pan!

A good combination recipe of palak, paneer and green peas with masalas that are always at home. I serve this for dinner with parathas, no dal or anything required as it has little water in it already.
