Palak Aloo/Stir Fried Spinach Potato

Simple stir-fried spinach-potato dish is comforting that requires lots of spinach, green peas, some diced potato, onion and garlic. Lots of green goodness has huge nutrition value. I use baby spinach leaves but big ones are also fine. Potatoes are cooked till 90 % done then I stir fry spinach leaves until they wilt and incorporate with potato well. This method keeps spinach green. I serve it alongside lentil and rice, or just with hand roti. Very easy and satisfying vegan meal. 

Ingredients~
1 1/2 lb spinach
1 medium potato, cut into small dice
1/4 cup green peas
2 green chilies, slightly slit
1/4 cup chopped onion
1/4 tsp minced garlic
2 tbsp oil
1/8 tsp nigella seeds
1/8 tsp salt or to taste

Method~

Heat oil in a large pan over medium high heat. Temper nigella seeds. Add in potato, onion, garlic, turmeric and little salt. Reduce heat to low and cover the pan for 3-4 minutes until potatoes are just tender. Add in green peas, chilies and cook for a few minutes. Add in spinach leaves and stir fry on high heat for 3-4 minutes. Finish off with the remaining salt. Serve with plain roti or rice and lentil.  

 

Happy Cooking!
