Palak- Aalo /Spinich with potatoes

          Palak-Aloo (spinach with potatoes) 

               

I prefer to buy vegetables from safal because of their best quality. Yesterday when I saw fresh  green  leaves of spinach on this vegetable  outlet .I did not  buy any other   vegetable accept  fresh spinach. 

Al though It's true that green  spinach  consume a  lots of time  in  preparation  but  I do not mind it. There are plenty of vegetarian and non vegetarian  dishes which we  cook  with green  spinach. Earlier I have shared non veg. recipes  like Palak - Soya- Methi ka saag and minced  meat kofta, Saljam -Palak- Gosht. 

Now I will share simple veg. recipe  of Palak - Aloo with  all of you .  Hope you will relish the simple taste of  Palak -Aloo  from my mother's kitchen .
