A delicious kadhi enhanced with vibrant spinach puree and soothing coconut milk, the Palak Coconut Kadhi also has its share of excitement thanks to the myriad spices that are added to it. As always, onions, green chillies and ginger, which are everyday ingredients in an Indian kitchen add to the flavour of this easy kadhi, which is made quicker and simpler using the microwave oven.

I have always loved Kadhi and coconut milk as individual ingredients but have never come across a recipe that combines both of these. Loved it and when palak was added it taste great but also looked fab.
