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.

Even though this recipe is so easy to cook, it tastes flavorsome. If you’re too lazy to get into complicated cooking today, try this and you’d be delighted to have this prepared. You can also show up at Royal Kitchen and we’ll get your treats ready.
