    Murg Palak
    Chicken is rich in protein. It also contains phosphorus, an essential mineral that supports your teeth and bones, as well as kidney, liver, and central nervous system function. Palak being rich in iron and dietary fiber provides all the micronutrients.  Onions apart from being low in calories also have small amounts of calcium, iron, folate, magnesium, phosphorus, potassium, and the antioxidants quercetin and sulfur. Tomatoes contain a wide array of beneficial nutrients and antioxidants, including alpha-lipoic acid, lycopene, choline, folic acid, beta-carotene, and lutein. A combination of all these with the flavor of garlic and ginger will improve the taste of the food and provide benefits like the low risk of heart disease, improvement of cholesterol levels, treat various types of stomach problems, etc.
