ALOO PALAK DRY




Posting after nearly two weeks! Phew! Was trotting NYC and DC :) everyone in US is trotting at this time of the year since it's the first long weekend of the year during the last week of May. My legs were swollen, walking tirelessly in the bylanes of New York! An incredible and indelible experience! 

Alright, getting back to the post, Aloo palak is done in two different ways, one, the watery and gravy kinds and the other which is 'high'and dry :P I love the latter, so does Aru. It tastes great with roti and chapathi :) 
Usually, palak is also substituted with methi leaves sometimes, but you can try both. The procedure remains the same. This recipe requires no grinding blending and can be a great option for lunch box.
