016: GREEN TARA PALAK (CKN)

Green Tara Palak — Courage in Curry, Grace in Greens

“She who liberates, nourishes. This is not a meal — it is a mantra served hot.”

🪔 Origin Invocation

Dedicated to Green Tara, the Bodhisattva of swift compassion and emerald grace, this sacred meal is crafted as both offering and alchemy. A modern variation of Indian-style palak chicken, it blends pasture-raised dark meat with wild greens, adaptogenic herbs, and sacred cubes of paneer — nourishing both strength and serenity. This is nourishment for the protectress within.

• Spice Garlands: Ginger, turmeric, cumin, garam masala, coriander, black pepper
