About the recipe
In this recipe, aloo and palak are added to the onion gravy and then cooked together until they turn soft and tender.
Pressure cooking too can be done and just give one single whistle to make it cook perfectly if making using pressure cooking style...
I have shared a very easy vegetable curry along with a video procedure made with aloo and spinach and tastes best when served with roti or rice.
I have shown to make the palak/spinach and potato 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.

- Aloo palak can also be pressure cooked.
- After adding coriander leaves in step 9, just pressure cooking the aloo palak curry for 2 whistles gives us a fine curry.
- 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.
