Shahi Palak Curry

Everyone in the family avoids spinach, specially kids. Cooking same kind of curry every time will definitely not work. We have to think different ways of preparing these veggies. This time I have tried spinach by giving a flavor of cashew nuts. This curry  is little creamy with roughly chopped cashew nuts in each byte. Along with it, it has spicy and little tangy flavor too. Here is the recipe - shahi palak curry, and believe me no one is going to avoid this curry at home.
