Green Indian Curries That You Must Try
While it is difficult to identify which curry Priyanka’s mother cooked for her, here is a list of a few popular green Indian gravies that you can relish at your home while it pours outside.
Palak Paneer
Palak paneer is the obvious guess as the actor mentioned that her daughter loves to devour paneer. With fresh cream garnish and paratha on the side, this surely makes for an irresistible combo in Australia.
Hariyali Chicken
The dish could also be hariyali chicken but the chicken pieces weren’t visible. You can make this delight at home by cooking the paste of coriander, spinach, and mint leaves in the gravy of onion, tomato, and garlic.

Veg Hariyali
Veg hariyali is a variant of hariyali chicken. Instead of cooking meat, you can add sauteed or roasted vegetables to the spiced spinach gravy. Add a variety of seasonal and colourful produce, like bell peppers, corn, cauliflower, soy nuggets, mushrooms, and more, to make the dish healthy and mouth-watering.
Chana Saag
The same gravy can be used to make chana saag. Boiled chickpeas cooked in spinach, onion, tomato, and garlic gravy make for a comforting and protein-rich meal. You can either serve this dish with paratha, roti, or rice. Cook some extra amount to enjoy the next as well.
Malnad Chicken
Malnad chicken (also called kozhi curry or koli sarru) is a chicken-based delight in which meat pieces are cooked in a curry prepared using garlic, mint leaves, coriander leaves, ginger, cashew paste, onion, coconut milk, and spices. The succulent pieces of chicken and paratha pair so well that each bite will help you get closer to the food coma.
