This palaksoup is my favorite and a very traditional north arcot family recipe. we generally prepare this recipe during winter its not heavy totally filling. Very few ingredients are used to create this soup the flavors and taste is from the tempering (Tadka) it might sound unusal to add tadka to a soup trust me its one of the best flavors you've ever tasted. Generally in tamilnadu people who prepare this recipe refer this as paal keerai masiyal. Its an excellent recipe to be served at a traditional sit down southindian lunch.
