Palak Chapathi

Palak Chapathi

Spinach / Palak is Rich in Vitamin A, B, C and D and has good fiber in it.
I always love to add Spinach in my meals, either by just giving tadka to it, or by adding this in other recipes.
If i don't get time to make Spinach desperately, sometime i just add them in Sambar also. End of the day All I need is, giving Nutrition to my loved ones.

It is difficult to make the kids to eat what is healthy and good. Especially the vegetables. My daughter was troubling me when i make her eat spinach and eggs. She was totally attached to my mother from her birth and suddenly few months back when i started taking care of her all by my own,  i had no clue what to do with her meal.. For each and everything i had to call my mom, When once I discussed with my mom about Spinach , she shared me the techniques which she used to apply on my daughter. I came to know that my daughter is a variety freak  :) she needs colors and shapes with  taste... :)

From then i am adding spinach to chapathi, dosa, and idlys than giving it just with tadka...  That is a cool idea. isn't it?
