    Heat a pan with oil, once the oil is hot add the cumin seeds,mustard+ urad dal, channa dal and saute for a few minutes. Then add dry red chillies, crushed garlic and fry for a few seconds.

    Add finely chopped onion, a few curry leaves and saute for a few minutes until the onion turns translucent.

    Next, add the chopped potatoes and mix well.

    Add turmeric, coriander, red chilli powder, salt and mix well with potatoes, without burning the spices.

    Cover and cook on medium heat for 6-7 minutes or until the potatoes are 90% cooked. Open the lid in between and stir them otherwise they will stick to the pan. Don't overcook them.

    Substitutions

    • Leafy vegeatbles - instead of spinach, you can use fenugreek leaves(methi)
    • Garam masala - In place of Garma masala, you can squeeze half a lemon juice.

    Storage

    This spinach potato stir fry stays good for 2- 3 in the fridge.

    It stays good in the freezer for 1 month. First, allow the fry to cool completely and store them in a freezer-safe box and use it within 1 month.

    Tips and tricks

    • Cut the potatoes into small pieces approx. ½", so that they cook fast while making the fry.
    • Chop the spinach finely before adding to the pan, for chopping you can use a food processor also, but I prefer chopping them with hands.
    • When adding the dry spices always keep an eye on them and saute without burning, otherwise, they will stick to the bottom of the pan. To avoid it just sprinkle some water and mix well.

    Frequently asked questions

    Can you use frozen spinach?

    Yes, you can use frozen spinach. Sometimes when I get bulk packets of spinach, I store them in the freezer and use them.

    What can I serve with this aloo palak?

    Aloo palak paries well with any Indian breads like roti, paratha and also with Ghee rice, Jeera rice and Dal
