    What is Aloo Palak?

    Come learn How To Make Stovetop Pakistani Aloo Palak. Aloo Palak is a harmonious amalgamation of spinach and potatoes, elevated with a medley of aromatic spices and seasonings. This time-efficient recipe, hailing from both India and Pakistan, offers a seamless assembly and has gained considerable popularity in Pakistan, where it is traditionally relished alongside warm, freshly-made chapati. Among the collection of vegetarian recipes on this blog, this Pakistani dinner recipe stands as a personal favorite.

    INGREDIENTS

    • Spinach- While you are certainly welcome to utilize fresh spinach, I personally opt for the convenience of pre-packaged baby spinach leaves.
    • Potatoes- I use the medium-size golden potatoes.

    HOW TO MAKE ALOO PALAK?

    Add oil and whole spices.

    Next add onion.

    Add ginger garlic paste, green pepper, and tomato.

    Next add powdered spices and salt.

    Let it cook for a little bit.

    Add potatoes and water.

    Let it cook covered.

    Add spinach.

    Mix well.

    Let it cook.

    Garnish with dried fenugreek leaves.

    Enjoy with chapati.

    HOW TO STORE IT?

    Aloo Palak, when refrigerated, maintains its quality for approximately 3-4 days. For longer-term storage, this recipe can be frozen and should remain viable for 1-2 months. When preparing to enjoy the frozen Aloo Palak, it is recommended to thaw it prior to consumption, and for optimal taste and texture, reheat it on the stovetop rather than using a microwave.
