Aloo is one such vegetable which is liked by kids and young. Aloo is a vegetable that can be tried into various recipes and can be relished with roti and rice.

Aloo is commonly made into aloo paratha, potato curry, aloo kurma, aloo matar, potato fry, dum aloo etc…

There are endless dishes that can be tried with aloo.

Here I have used two veggies, one is palak and the other is aloo and combining both vegetables gives us a delicious gravy.

Palak is a healthy vegetable and it can also be experimented into many varieties.

In this recipe aloo and palak are added in an onion gravy and then cooked together until they turn soft and tender.

I have shared a very easy vegetable curry along with a video procedure made with aloo and palak and tastes best when served with roti or rice.

I have shown the aloo palak curry in a wok, however the same can be made in a pressure cooker without adding any water as the palak releases its own water and the gravy is cooked in that water.

Below are the recipe details on how to make aloo palak gravy…

12. When aloo and palak turns into soft gravy and when aloo turns soft switch off the flame.
13. Serve hot with rice or chapathi.

Notes

1. Wash the spinach leaves and aloo pieces well before adding into the curry.
2. Aloo palak can also be pressure cooked.
3.After adding coriander leaves in step 9, just pressure cooking the aloo palak curry for 2 whistles gives us a fine curry.
4.If aloo palak is not made in pressure cooker, then cut the potatoes into small pieces as they can be cooked faster and can be tenderized quickly.
5. In this recipe I have not added any water as the palak and onion release their own water and the gravy can be cooked in that water.
