If any vegetable deserved the title of superfood, this would definitely be Spinach. Having lived in India for some time, I still think Creamy Spinach Curry is up there among the tastiest of all Indian dishes.
But Why Spinach?
- When you combine the recommended daily intake of electrolytes you must supplement on a keto diet, you end up with 7300 mg sodium, 5700 mg potassium and 700 mg magnesium
- It is generally recommended to take a potassium salt and a magnesium supplement To meet these requirements. However, with proper vegetable intake, this is completely unnecessary! And I’m not talking about a ludicrous amount of vegetables either; A bag of spinach per day would basically have you covered.
Keto Fact: 100g of spinach has
- One of the lowest carb counts at 1.4
- Ridiculously high in potassium (558mg)
- Magnesium (79mg)
Time and again when we share Indian food with family and friends their favorite is usually “the spinach one.” You may have heard of it as palak paneer (when served with Indian cheese) or spinach saag – but whatever the name, it’s delicious!
It’s wonderfully rich and creamy but very mild as far as curries go. My version may not be perfectly authentic, but it’s tasty. So here you go.
