Ingredients to cook

2 large potatoes (cut into medium size cubes)
2 large cups spinach (blanched and pureed)/ 3-4 cups spinach (chopped and washed)
1 large onion (chopped)
5-6 sliced garlic cloves
2-3 green chili (slit from the middle)
1 tsp cumin seeds
½ tsp asafoetida
¼ tsp turmeric
1 tbsp coriander powder
¼ cup fresh cilantro (chopped)
1 tsp Kashmiri red chili powder
Salt to taste
Oil for cooking

Cooking Guide

In a pan, heat some oil and toast the cumin seeds and asafoetida.
Stir for a minute on low heat and then add sliced garlic and onions. Sauté the onion and garlic on a medium flame for 1-2 minutes until the onion gets soft and its color slightly changes.
Now add green chilies and toss in the potatoes after a few seconds. Add some salt and ¼ cup of water and cover the lid to cook the potatoes on medium-low heat. Cook the potatoes covering the lid for the next 10-12 minutes while stirring once or twice so the potatoes don't stick to the bottom. (Use some more water if needed)
Once the potatoes are cooked, add in the spices - red chili, dried coriander powder and turmeric. Give it a good stir.
Add spinach and mix them well. Stir aloo-palak for the next 3-4 minutes until the spinach is cooked.
Turn off the flame. Serve aloo palak in a bowl and sprinkle some cilantro over it. Enjoy it with your favorite Indian bread.
