A simple garlic spinach curry, uniquely flavored with milk. I’ll place this right up with my most-loved comfort foods.
To be frank, when I really feel like having comfort home food, I have few recipes that I would like to make – vengaya kuzhambu, rasam, mor kuzhambu, potato roast and there comes this recipe “spinach garlic curry”. I just love this recipe. This makes me feel good after having it 🙂 I am not exaggerating. I feel so! I always make this spinach curry with potato roast and basmati rice. I really like the flavors of spinach curry and basmati rice and with sides I need my potato roast. You should try this combo! It is just awesome! You can even have this as sides to roti or just plain rice. It can be made as vegan by adding coconut milk or soy milk. I came to know about this recipe from my friend Priyanka. She used to make it for us 🙂 I just adapted this recipe from that. Before having this, I was wondering spinach and milk combination, it did not feel good 🙂 Now I am in love with this! Thank you Priyanka :)!!!!
Vegan Note – . You can use coconut milk/ soy milk instead of milk to make it completely vegan.
