Simple Aloo Palak

Aloo chopped to small cubes
Palak chopped fine
Onions chopped(optional)

For tadka
Oil
Mustard
Urad dal
Red chillies
Curry leaves
Asafoetida.

Spices
Turmeric pow
Cumin powder
Dhania powder
Amchur powder

You can add your own spices to your taste.

I made a dry subji out of this, sprinkling just enough water to cook. Not too spicy since the only hot ingredient is the red chilli in tadka.

I wanted to do non-masala aloo palak and ended up with this.

Method
  1. Heat a bit of oil and when its hot add the tadka and fry till they are done.
  2. Add onions and fry till transparent and soft.
  3. Add potato, palak, spices and salt to taste. Mix well and cook covered till cooked but not mushy. You can sprinkle a bit of water to help in the cooking.
  4. Open the lid, stir it a bit to get an even look and you are done!!
  5. Serve with roti or rice.
