Palak & Chicken Gravy (Spinach & Chicken Gravy)

Chicken and Spinach is very good combo. Chicken has high protein and spinach is very good source of fiber.. which makes the combo a "hearty meal". I learnt this recipe from Sanjeev Kapoor's Khana Kazana. He is great chef, I love his TV shows. Chicken palak, its easy to make recipe and tastes so good. This is usually available in restaurants as Saag chicken. I made this chicken palak for the first time and it was tasting very good... You can try and see..
