Are there any Parsi spinach preparations? Would love to try them. Thanks.
Yes Nandy. Parsi Bhaji-Dana ma Ghost” is a wonderful dish with spinach, methi (fenugreek), Dana (green peas) and many other green vegetables. With or without meat it is delicious. A litle difficult to prepare but the nutritional value and taste is unbeatable.
