This is not a part of the recipe but if you love authentic Indian flavors, make a nice tadka and pour it over the dish. Heat 1 tablespoon ghee on a medium heat. Add 2 to 3 sliced garlic cloves and 2 dried red chillies. Fry on a low heat for a minute, until garlic turns light golden. Add ¼ teaspoon hing (optional). Turn off and pour it over palak chicken.
