ALOO PALAK GRAVY

This recipe of mine is an alternative recipe for palak paneer. All the ingredients used here are very basic household ingredients. The recipe needs only potatoes, palak [spinach], onion, tomato and few spices. Yes, it is that simple. This one is loved by my hubby. Very delicious and mild flavoured Indian curry recipe. Spinach by itself is little bland in taste, so onion and tomatoes are added in the recipe which gives some flavour to the dish .
