Aloo Palak: Spinach and Potatoes Stir-Fried

Ingredients 0/12

Step 1

Grind together the garlic and ginger into a smooth paste. Heat a tablespoon of oil in a pot over medium-high heat, then add the chopped onion. Cook it gently until it becomes soft and translucent, which should take about 5 to 7 minutes. Next, toss in the cumin, coriander, cayenne, and turmeric, followed by the ginger-garlic paste. Give everything a good stir to combine the spices well.

Step 2

Add the rest of the oil, then throw in the potatoes and tomatoes. Cook this mixture, stirring occasionally, until you notice the oil starting to separate from the spices and pool around the edges of the pan—this usually takes about 5 minutes. Now, add the spinach along with some salt, and keep cooking over medium heat. Let it simmer gently until the potatoes are tender, which should take around 20 minutes. Once everything is cooked through, it’s ready to serve.
