Hyderabadi Paalak Chicken

A lovely side dish from my beautiful City with spinach as the main ingredient. It is generally made with both mutton and chicken. As the saying goes, we Hydis cannot do with just plain vegetables and add non-veg to it thus making it more delectable. As it is, green leafy vegetables are highly nutritious and therefore combining that with meat simply takes it to an altogether different level. You can even make this boneless chicken breast. All in all, a scrumptious dish for lunch or dinner. Serve it with both rice and rotis. Happy Cooking!
