Anshu's Food Odyssey

Arbi  or Taro Root and Palak combined together make for a yummilicious and highly nutritious vegetable curry that goes awesomely well with hot phulkas, chapatis, paranthas and rice. One of my most favorite curries, it comes together just under 30 minutes and makes for a perfect dish to be carried in school and office lunch boxes. Being excessively rich in fiber content, this arbi palak masala is great for those suffering from gut problems and dealing with diabetes. Additionally, palak or spinach in this recipe makes it a great contender for anemics and to-be mothers too. Health benefits apart, if you are looking to add some variety on your dinner table, it makes for a perfect recipe to be served and rest assured, it will be a hit with your family in no time. Don't agree? do give it a try and then thank me later ....😊    Arbi Palak Masala | Colocasia and Spinach Curry Ingredients Arbi/Colocasia - 200 grams Palak/Spinach (washed and shredded) - 1 cu
