Mushroom Spinach
Spinach and mushroom is a wonderful combination. I often make many gravies using spinach or palak puree. This not only makes the dish look beautiful, but it increases the taste and nutritional value too. Spinach is no doubt one of the most healthiest vegetable available. It’s high in calcium, vitamin A, folic acid, iron etc. Mushrooms are also low in calories but very high in proteins and dietary fibre. In addition, it contains
vitamin B, selenium, potassium, copper and vitamin D.
