    Mushroom Makhana curry is a delicious and healthy recipe which is rich in nutrients. I further added palak/spinach to make it even healthier. So, if you are looking for a nutritious and tasty Indian meal option you can pair this curry with whole wheat flatbread/chapati or brown rice. It tastes good with Basmati rice or Paratha too. It’s really up to you how much healthier you want to make it and what is your taste preference.

    Nutrition In Mushroom Makhana curry

    Makhana, also known as fox nuts or lotus seeds are a good source of protein, carbohydrates. It also rich in minerals like potassium, iron, and phosphorus etc. Low sodium and high magnesium content make it a good option for people with high blood pressure and diabetics.

    Mushrooms are another low-calorie ingredient of this mushroom makhana curry. Mushroom is a good source of protein and Vitamin B niacin and riboflavin. So if you are a vegetarian including mushroom in your everyday meal is a good idea. Spinach we all know how healthy are green vegetables. Mushrooms are also known as Khumb that is why in Indian restaurants, mushroom dishes are also known as Khumb dishes.

    All three healthy ingredients mixed with simple herbs and spices make a delicious curry known as Khumb mushroom palak which is a favorite at our home. If you love healthy meals that are tasty as well I am sure this will be your favorite too.

    Punjabi Dal Palak is smoky spicy and super healthy dal recipe. Also known as spinach dal the dal palak recipe is easy way to add more health quotient to your everyday Indian meals. Tempering or tadka is what makes this super delicious.

    The other day we served it with Dal Palak, another Punjabi dal recipe.

    Meal Prep for Mushroom Makhana Palak Sabzi

    Making Indian curry is quite easy if you know how to meal prep for Indian cooking. To make the task easier I have listed following meal preps you can do.If you follow this you can always cook curry in a hurry.

    • You can roast makhana in the microwave and store them in container beforehand and use them as required for making dishes like kheer and roasted snack etc.
    • Mushrooms can be cleaned and cut in advance and stored in the refrigerator in a container with some pore to allow them to come in air contact.
    • Spinach can be chopped before and kept in the refrigerator. Make sure it is dried before chopping. Otherwise, you can freeze the spinach and it can be used in the frozen state in the curry.
    • You can make bhuna masala in advance and use the paste instead of making fresh masala as described in this recipe. Add additional spices mentioned in the spice list if you are using bhuna masala.

    If you like mushrooms, you may want to check and cook few other mushroom curry recipes, Tava mushroom, Matar Mushroom Sabzi, Mushroom Spinach and Paneer ki Sabzi  or Mushroom Tikka Recipe.
