Aloo Palak Recipe

Everyone knows that green and leafy veggies are good for health. But not all of us are keen on eating them. Same was with me. I loved Palak (spinach) but there was always one condition that it has to be cooked with paneer ( cottage cheese). Basically I enjoyed eating only Palak Paneer (Cottage Cheese with Spinach). But not anymore. Now I make Palak recipes with various ingredients like matar (green peas), makai (corn) and aloo (potato). Aloo Palak recipe is one of the easiest Punjabi Cuisine which is easy to make, tasty and nutritious.
