Palak kheema

                 Palak kheema or spinach cooked with minced meat is a nutritious dish full of protein, iron & calcium. It tastes great with chapatis or a bowl of hot steamed rice.

                        Palak kheema recipe is very easy , can be prepared within fifteen minutes and can be served for breakfast, dinner or packed for lunch.

                        In addition to Spinach, dill leaves are also used in this recipe. At my place the dill leaves are called soyi ki bhaji they sure look like ordinary grass but are a good source of calcium, manganese and iron.Also try Khadi dal (lentils with dill). Now, to the recipe :-

Ingredients:

1. Spinach - 10 to 12 bunches
2. Minced meat / kheema - 150 gms
3. Dill leaves - 2 bunches
4. Onion - 1 no
5. Red chili powder - 1 tsp
6. Turmeric powder - 1/2 tsp
7. Ginger garlic paste - 1 tbsp
8. Green chilies - 5 nos
9. Salt - to taste
10. Oil - 3 tbsp

Method:

• Heat oil in a deep bottomed vessel.
• Add onion and saute for a minute.
• Add salt with ginger garlic paste, red chili powder and turmeric powder.
• Add washed and drained minced meat.
• Add washed and chopped spinach leaves. Cover and cook for 5 minutes. (the spinach will reduce in volume and will also leave water sufficient for cooking so do not add water at any point in the recipe.)
• Add slit green chilies and chopped dill leaves. Cover the vessel again and let it cook till all the water dries out. Turn off the flame.
• Serve hot.
