Mushroom Palak Makhani – Meatless Monday!

I have realized that when I am on the refrigerator cleaning spree, the waste of the ingredients land in my pan, only to make the delicious-est of the recipes. Does that happen with you? Random ingredients coming together in a marriage to create a community?
A food for thought or a thought for food! Whichever works best in the given scenario.
No meal is complete for me, without a simple salad, some rice and roti on the side.
This Monday is extra special Meatless Monday (well it’s meatless everyday in my kitchen anyways), since mushrooms are a perfect substitute for any meat and when combined with silk-kind, richer and healthier spinach gravy, it is just heavenly.
The secret behind the creamy texture is cashews. A simple and enriched dish!
Cashews are not only good for heart health and diabetics, but for weight watchers too, if taken in controlled portions, may be 10-12 a day, where as a handful of the nuts a day is a normal portion size. Spinach doesn’t need a special introduction. Does it? It is rated as one of the super foods which is almost carb negligent and rich in minerals and other nutrients. Mushrooms, a fungi in origin, is another nutrition dense mine in minerals and vitamins.
This is how I made it!
I loved cooking this curry and feeding my family thereafter in my Indian American Kitchen. Hope you will too 🙂

The word ‘Makhani’ is good enough to give me goosebumps all over 🙂
A truly healthy and nourishing recipe. Who says healthy food doesn’t look pretty? – It looks fabulous! And Fantastic!
Many thanks for the recipe. Love.
Thank you dear girl ❤️
This dish looks as beautiful soft velvet (but I am sure it tastes much better – hihi)
Reblogged this on Chef Ceaser.
I love that challenge of using up random ingredients, it’s when you have to be your most creative 🙂 this looks fab xx
Absolutely stunning recipe.. i am always looking out for Spinach and mushroom recipes separately and here u combined the two in such a fab way !!
This is a combination of ingredients I would never in a million years come up with and I love it! What a recipe Sonal. I want to make this!
Love this recipe, and the notes that you have provided makes it so versatile.
Sonal, I can so relate to cleaning out the fridge:) I go overboard when I see fresh vegetables and fruit and then am thinking of what I can make with the odd ones left 🙂 Your spinach mushroom Makhani is brilliant! Love the creaminess in the dish. I agree with Loretta about the naan…..just wish I could sop it thru the computer screen now!
Just look at the richness of this dish. Would love to sop up that thick curry with some naan bread.
