3P curry is a very nutritious curry which I named after it's ingredients i.e. Palak, Potato and green Peas. This curry turns very tasty and is totally based out of a successful experiment which I conducted in my kitchen.
Since Feb when I had health issues, I got a little bit health conscious. Since then I mostly cook dishes which are packed with nutrition. Palak is a great anti-oxidant, the benefits of which can be found on google. Adding tomato and a different combination of masalas makes this dish really yummy.
Ingredients:1 bunch fresh palak/Spinach
2 small tomatos
2 medium sized onions
1/2 cup green peas
1 big sized potato
8 garlic cloves
1/2 inch giner
2 green chilles
1/2 tsp turmeric powder
1 tsp garam masala
1 tsp red chilly powder
4-5 black peppercorns
1/2 inch cinamon

Wash the palak leaves and chop them. In a steel container add chopped palak, 1 small chopped tomato, green chilles, spices and 3 garlic cloves.
After cooling, make a puree out of this boiled palak mixture.
Microwave the green peas for 2 mins. One can also boil them for 5 mins.
In a kadai, add 2 tablespoons oil and add the chopped onions and fry on a meduim flame till the onions become brownish. Next add the paste made out of 5 cloves garlic and 1/2 inch giner. Fry for some time.
