Posted on June 18th, 2009

I have had Aloo (potato) palak(spinach) sabji in most of the Indian restaurants here. But never tried this combo at home. I love palak sabji. Thought of adding aloo this time. Taste was yum! Here is the Aloo palak sabji recipe.

Ingredients:
Aloo (Potatoes): 250 gms
Palak (Spinach): a bunch
Green chilies: 3-4
Salt: to taste
Coriander: 1 tsp
Cumin seeds: 1 tsp
Oil: 2 tsps

Preparation Method:

Wash and clean the veggies.
Cut them into small pieces.
Heat oil and do seasoning with mustard seeds, urad dal and red chilies.
Fry potatoes for few mins.
Now add shredded spinach and fry for 2-3 mins.
Grind coriander seeds and cumin seeds into powder.
Mix this powder with the curry and stir well.
Add salt to the curry.
Sprinkle little water, close the pan and cook the curry for 7-10 mins.
Tasty Aloo palak is ready.

Making kids eat greens would be a great prob. Though I haven’t experienced this yet, I have seen my nephew throwing out all curry leaves (coz they are greens… troubling his sambar rice ) I believe adding potatoes (Most of the kids adore this veggie) would be a good idea to make kids eat the greens too… With this hope, am sending this recipe to Pavani’s Cooking for Kids – Leafy greens event which is the brain child of Sharmi
