Aloo Palak | Potato Spinach Curry Recipe | Aloo Palak Gravy Recipe
Aloo Palak
It’s a traditional Punjabi dish, which is made of Palak and boiled aloo, which I have had lots of times in my childhood in many sukh sagar restaurants along with my parents or my friends, its creamy and spicy ….. aloo has been one of my favourite veggie. The creamy consistency comes from the tinge of cream added at the last, one can also add aloo first and cook it along with the vegetable, it’s an option one can choose.
