aloo palak

2019-10-18

A popular Indian restaurant dish with an exotic-sounding name. It's nothing more than spinach with potatoes and spices. The spices are used in larger quantity than I normally do for spinach. They do give it that exotic flavor that makes it aloo palak instead of just spinach with potatoes.

The spinach does not have to be pureed. Do not use cream for this recipe.

INGREDIENTS

This is what you need for 2 servings:

• 2 lbs. spinach
• 2 medium potatoes
• 1/4 onion, chopped fine.
• S&P
• ½ lime, juiced

spices:

• garam masala
• cumin
• cardamom
• cloves, whole
• coriander
• red chile
• fennel
• curry ...

Directions

Pic5: spinach, potatoes
Pic6: mixed with spices
Pic7: served

• Prepare creamed  or whole spinach as usual.
• Add spices to your preference, or don't add any if you're not familiar with them.
  • Start with one or more of the 4 Cs: cardamom, cumin, coriander, cloves.
    Use small quantities, 1/4 tsp. or 1 whole clove.
    You can stir-fry the seeds briefly before adding to the spinach.
  • Add, stir and simmer a full minute before tasting.
  • Wait with hot chile powder until last.
• Boil quartered / diced potatoes. Do not overcook.
• Add them to the spinach. Mix carefully.
  I also mixed in diced pork roast, feel free to omit that.
• Serve and enjoy.

Another way:

• Stir-fry spices, onion.
• Add diced potatoes.
• Cover and simmer over low heat 5-7 minutes until potatoes are nearly done.
• Pile the freshly chopped spinach leaves on top.
• Simmer 5 more minutes until the spinach is all done.
• Stir in the lime juice.
• Serve and enjoy.
