    I guess Palak is to be added with thr rice so tht it gets cooked with all its flavour mixing well in the dish, isn't it?

    When should the palak go in?

    Khem

    If we have to keep 1cup of chopped spinach aside all the time while cooking rice, then why not just imagine instead, as it is not mentioned when to use spinach.
