Hema’s Kitchen Is it saur in taste & the leaves are big ?
It’s leaves are big like mulai keerai. But the leaves are also thick and fleshy unlike mulai keerai. It’s stem also looks different.
It looks similar to palak leaves but thicker and tastes little different. Palak grows as a vine but this grows in the ground.
Palak Solnech grows on ground not as a wine I grow it every year
