Ingredients
Instructions
Preparation
- Wash the spinach thoroughly and set aside.
- Finely chop the onion and carrot.
Sautéing Vegetables
- Heat ghee or oil in a pot over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and carrot and sauté until softened, about 5 minutes.
Blanching Spinach
- Add 4 cups of water to the pot and bring to a boil. Add the spinach and cook until wilted but still bright green, about 2-3 minutes.
Pureeing the Soup
- Immediately transfer the spinach mixture to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process. Let it sit for 5 minutes.
- Drain the spinach mixture well. Puree the mixture using an immersion blender or in a regular blender until completely smooth. Strain the puree through a fine-mesh sieve to remove any fibers.
Simmering and Seasoning
- Return the pureed spinach to the pot. Add salt and pepper to taste. Simmer for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, to allow the flavors to meld.
Finishing Touches
- Remove from heat and stir in the cream. Serve hot, garnished with a dollop of extra cream if desired.
Serving Suggestions
- Serve with crispy breadsticks or naan for dipping.
Recipe Notes
Expert Tips for the Best Palak Shorba

- Adjust the amount of black pepper according to your spice preference.
- If you don't have fresh spinach, you can use frozen spinach (thawed and squeezed dry). Adjust the water accordingly.
- For a vegan version, substitute coconut cream for heavy cream.
