Palak ki subzi is a spiced vegetable side dish originating from India. It literally translates to spinach (palak) and vegetables (subzi). The dish is also anglicized as palak sabji or palak subji. While a palak ki subzi can be prepared with a variety of vegetables, this version serves as the ideal light accompaniment to a main dish like masala dal, served with hot chapatis.
Best of all, it's ready in just about 30 minutes.
