Simply awesome recipe! Loved by whole family. Really low calorie healthy recipe. Thanku soo much
The recipe was awesome and very easy to follow and prepare. Never knew that making Palak was so easy to make and it has so much value and tasty.
Healthy thin soup with a nice garlic flavour added to spinach. The key here is that no milk or cornflour is added which makes the spinach soup very healthy. Adding corn flour or milk would make the soup thicker but slow down you fat burning process as this creates more insulin release.
