Aloo Palak or Potato Spinach curry is a easy and healthy recipe which comes together quickly and can be enjoyed with roti, naan or rice alike. This recipe is an ideal one for quick and easy weekday meal which does not require any preparations in advance and also a healthy, nutritious meal.
There are different ways to cook potatoes for this dish. You can fry potatoes separately in a non-stick pan and add it after onions and tomatoes are done. This will need some additional oil or ghee to fry potatoes. Another way would be to skip oil and boil potatoes instead which would be another healthier version. I am cooking potatoes in the same sauce pan which cuts down some time and also I feel this is an easy and quicker version as everything is cooked in the same pot. You can try either ways to cook potatoes which suit your cooking style and taste.
