Palak Papad Curry ~ Palakura Appadala Koora

What is not to like about corn and palak? I know for a fact that the kids are major corn fans and they surely appreciate Palak Tofu which I frequently make. So on a hunch I made this combination instead of the usual and guess what the kids loved it! So one more way to get them to eat their greens, don't you think? Try it and let me know how they liked it.


I had to re compose this post as this post was lost in the Blogger maintenance problems and I will look for some wonderful comments posted by some of you and if possible add them as my comment.
