Lehsuni / Garliky Palak

Palak invariably reminds me Popeye, flexing his muscles, all very powerful after a dose of spinach. I was never a big fan of palak. But since, I discovered the lovely combination of onion and yogurt working its magic with palak, I have become very fond of these green leaves. Add to this sauteed garlic and cream and you have a winner!
