I used to larn confused almost the divergence betwixt chana saag as well as chana palak. The mutual elements are chickpeas , carve upwards or whole , as well as leafy greens. As it turns out , palak agency spinach , whereas saag tin dismiss hateful whatever leafy greenish , including spinach only also mustard greens , kale , fenugreek leaves or whatever suits your fancy.

No thing the greens y'all pick out to include , this classic North Indian dish deserves to live on served upwards often. The creaminess of silky spinach as well as kokosnoot milk embraces the plump buttery chickpeas as well as the arrive at of spices used to aromatically heighten the experience. It's a luxurious dish that is withal non overly spicy nor also rich.
