Where is Palak Chicken From?
Palak chicken curry is a South Asian curry, popular in India, Pakistan and other South Asian countries. It’s made with a blend of aromatic spices, onion, tomatoes and spinach. The Palak Chicken I enjoyed growing up was never pureed. In fact, my inspiration for this Palak Chicken is from an Indian restaurant in Seattle where I lived for half a decade.
