PALAK POTATO CURRY

Spinach is known as a rich source of iron and calcium.Spinach still has a large nutritional value, especially when fresh, steamed, or quickly boiled. It is a rich source of vitamin A , Vitamin C, Vitamin E, Vitamin K, Magnesium and several vital antioxidents. Recently, opioid peptides called rubiscolins have also been found in spinach. It is a source of folic acid (Vitamin B9), and this vitamin was first purified from spinach. To benefit from the folate in spinach, it is better to steam it than to boil it.
