How to Cook Butter Palak Chicken With Cashew Nut Paste Recipe

    Palak Chicken is one of the most popular and delicious dishes in North Indian Cuisine. It is a wonderful blend of chicken curry and palak. As much as the color of palak gives away the important ingredient in this curry. Enjoy the goodness of palak and chicken together in one dish. Its weekend and chicken time at our place-like any North Indian Cuisine. I was bout to cook the chicken when I remembered the half pack of palak that is lying cozily in the fridge. I thought of palak-chicken, but din want to follow the palak-paneer method. So I image-searched. Well I first do an image search and whichever pic pleases my eye I check that recipe. But this time I observed that none of the palak-chicken pictures looked mouth-watering. So I randomly checked out 3-4 recipes. This one is slightly different that the normal procedure. And I went on with it. Though I added cashew nuts paste also to the palak puree to give it that extra richness. This recipe is super-awesome. The flavors of cumin and coriander doesn’t over power this dish and it maintains the innocence of the palak. Main flavor comes from the ginger-garlic paste. The aroma was so heavenly……!!!! I served it with chapati. Actually I din add the butter when we had it for the lunch. When I was trying to take a picture of this…I felt it looked too simple, so I just grated a leftover unsalted butter-bar. And when we had it for dinner it was good again. I mean the addition of butter was too good……!!!!!

  Finally, don go by the pic…..it doesn’t justify the goodness of the dish. Just try it……..!!!! I always want to make a dry chicken…….but some how end up in a gravy based dish. It always happens like that. A wholesome and delicious dish cooked with tender chicken pieces floating in thick creamy sauce prepared with palak and butter. You can even use frozen palak as it will save both time and effort. However, fresh is best and always recommended. Make sure you wash the fresh palak leaves well before use. Palak Chicken is a delicious combination of spinach and chicken. Palak, stuffed with the goodness of several nutrients, when combined with chicken makes it quite a different combination altogether.
