  2. Guru sir thanks a lot for such lovely tips wid such easy nd beautiful way of cooking,ur sweet voice makes the recepi most beautiful such a lovely and mesmerising voice u hve really hats off to u.

  3. 1. adding salt and sugar b4 boiling
    2. not covering the boiling Palak
    3. transferring the boiled Palak to ice cold water
    ok will try the above steps to retain the green color!

  4. That's a very good flavour balance my friend, and a credit to you that you explained the prep so well. However, I would suggest that you should not instruct people to toss the water (used to boil the spinach) down the sink… seriously, put it back in the garden at the very least, or use it as the base of a stock or gravy…. Why throw all those nutrients away?
