Palak Potato Curry
Palak/Spinach is no doubt one of the most healthy vegetables. It is liked by everyone too. Any spinach gravy or side dish is a big welcome in my home. I make it a point to include spinach as much as I can in our food. When we get bored of palak paneer and dal palak, we often resort to potato palak. This is a simple and very mild recipe with the goodness and green colour of palak intact. It pairs well with rice as we as phulkas and rotis. Do try it and share your feed back.
