Aloo palak curry is also known as palak aloo recipe, aloo palak

Aloo palak sabzi recipe is a stir-fried North Indian based spinach potato curry recipe. It is a popular dish served in roadside restaurants which are called Dhaba in the Northern part of India.
This Aloo palak recipe is a Punjabi style side dish that pairs well with Phulkas, roti, chapati, poori, and rice. It is a low-calorie and nutritious dish for kids, grown-ups, and also a perfect lunch box recipe.
Aloo palak curry is a vegan dish. It is a healthy and tasty side dish for rasam, sambar, and curd rice as well. It is quite easy to make curry, prepared from lightly sauteed spinach and boiled potatoes along with some spices like red chili and coriander powder.
It is a mildly spiced curry and similar to the aloo palak recipe dry version which was posted a few days back in my blog. I love leafy-greens that include lettuce, spinach, and we try to incorporate them at least thrice a week. My spouse can eat raw spinach in salads, whereas I prefer the sauteed version. In fact, I make this aloo palak sabzi once a week at home.
It is a delicious side dish that I love to have with rice and Karnataka style bele saaru recipe /dal rasam. Also, I made this aloo palak recipe without onion garlic. So it can be eaten on festival days too.
If you are particular about onion, go ahead and add it after seasoning the cumin seeds. You can even add amchoor/dried mango powder or some chopped tomatoes for the tangy flavor.
Further, we can make a lot of healthy and delicious dishes using spinach and potatoes. It is a great combination. Here, I have attached some spinach recipes for you. Click the below recipes for the Url link.
