palong ghonto

Palong shak/Palak
This can be prepared in various ways. For instance there is palak in dahi, again we have palak paneer and many many more. U can cook palak with mutton/chicken also. I am giving u some simple recipes.

1.Palak ghanto (very simple)
U will need aloo/begun/any other vegetable along with palang . Chop all the veggies to small size & chop up the palang. Then heat a little oil in ur cook 'n serve bowl. Put our everything in ur bowl. Cover it. Cook at low flame. All the water will come out. Wait till all the veggies are cooked & tender & there is no water left. Then remove the vessel from heat. Now finally heat a few teaspoons of oil again; put some jeera, a few tejpatta (if available ). In the meantime mix a little haldi, a little chillie, a little jeera & a little dhania powder in some water. After putting jeera & tejpatta add haldi etc in oil & mix thoroughly. When u will feel the masala is cooked & oil is coming out mix all the pre-steamed veggies along with palak with the masala. Cover the bowl for a few minute & wait. Remove from heat. Never add salt at the first stage . Because the saak after being cooked will reduce to half in volume. So u will add salt when shaak is cooked. For topping u may add dry jeera powder (fried) & grated coconut. Your palang is ready.
