palak chutney recipe | spinach chutney | palakura pachadi with step by step photo and video recipe. chutney recipes are common in many indian households and are made for various reasons. in south india it is generally made with freshly grated coconut and served as condiments for morning breakfast. one such healthy variation recipe is palak chutney made with fresh spinach leaves.
i have a special interest to chutney recipes and i guess it is very obvious with my list of chutney recipes posted in my website. as a matter of fact, i constantly search for new chutney recipes and new ways to make it. as i was exploring, i came to know about this healthy palak chutney from my friend. she did share her variation which was with just palak or spinach leaves. but in this recipe, i have extended it by adding desiccated coconut while grounding. coconut adds nice texture and flavour to the chutney but works well without it too. but i personally like the combination of spinach leaves and coconut.
the palak chutney recipe is extremely simple and easy to prepare, yet some tips and suggestions while preparing it. firstly, in this recipe, i have used the combination of palak and desiccated coconut. but this can be extended by adding finely chopped onions and tomatoes with palak leaves. secondly, add only fresh palak leaves to this chutney recipe and skip adding spinach stems. stems can contain high fibre and may spoil the chutney experience. lastly, you can easily store the chutney for 2-3 days if stored in a refrigerator. as i mentioned it is a multipurpose chutney and can be used for breakfast and as a side dish to rice. hence you can make it in a large quantity.
finally, i request you to check my other popular indian chutney recipes collection with this recipe post of palak chutney recipe. it includes recipes like coriander chutney, carrot chutney, mint chutney, idli chutney, dosa chutney, onion chutney and tomato chutney. in addition, do visit my other simple and easy recipes collection like,
