How do you cook tinned palak?

Re: Cooking Palak chicken

i just switched over to canned spinach, and it's actually pretty good. one can cooks up to serve a small family for like 1-2 meals. i think canned spinach is more delicious.

the process to cook palak chicken is the same as palak gosht. brown your onions, add in some punj phorni, add your tomatoes and chicken, and cook the chicken. then bhoonofy it, add your spinach to the top and let it cook for a few minutes. if you're using canned spinach, it's already like half cooked, so you don't have to wait to long for it to be ready.

What is “punj phorni” ?? :konfused:

Re: Cooking Palak chicken

it's a blend of spices that you add to veggies to give it that extra oomph. it's almost like achar masala, but not quite. it's got ur staples like sookha dhaniya (dhaniya seeds), sounf, zeera, but also khashkhas and kalonji. and then some other things.

Does anyone have the recipe blend for punj phorni or achar masala?

Re: Cooking Palak chicken

I bought some tinned spinach (KTC brand) and did not like it. It had a strong, bitter taste. Stick to fresh spinach.

I prefer frozen over tinned anyday, however best is fresh. either chop up and bhoon with the chicken or boil the spinach separatly, ensure you squeeze all water out and add to chicken and continue to bhoon.

Please get us the exact measurements...please.

My mom makes it. she doesn't really measure anything, just throws everything together =/ But i'll be sure to ask her next time

Punjpoori are five spices - kalongi, saunf, rai and two more which I do not remember. You can use it for achar ghost as well.

If your in the UK you can purchase Punjphoran spice mix prepackaged ready to crush down and use-I bought a pack whilst out doing my Eid food shopping last weekend.
