I love green gravies because of the vibrant color. Usually I prefer either finely chopped onions/ ground onion in my gravies, but for a change this time I thinely sliced onion and added little chat masala to the Aloo palak (Am I crazy????) But believe me the gravy was super duper hit in home. Jagadish kept asking me what did I add extra this time. When a little change can make hubby think its a happy smiley 🙂

Spinach Potato Gravy
Preparation Time : 5 min | Cooking Time : 25 mins | Serves : 3
Recipe Category: Side dish
Ingredients:
Spinach – 2 cups
Potato – 2, big
Onion – 1, thinely sliced
Green Chilli – 1 ( Adjust according to your spice level)
Ginger garlic paste – 1/2 tsp
Garam Masala powder – 1 tsp
Coriander powder – 1/2 tsp
Cumin powder – 1/4 tsp
Chat masala – 1/4 tsp
Sugar – generous pinch
Turmeric powder – a pinch
Salt -as needed
Method:
- Pressure cook potatoes until tender (for about 2 whistles or microwave the potatoes for 10 minutes). Peel off the skin and cut into bite-sized pieces and keep aside
- Rinse the spinach well in water. Boil water with pinch of sugar and salt. Add the spinach to the boiling water. Cook and switch off the flame, after 3-5 mins drain and quickly pour cold water over the spinach. Transfer them into a blender and make fine paste, with green chilli
- Add oil to the pan, when oil becomes hot add cumin seeds and it splutters. Add onion and ginger garlic paste and saute till the onions are translucent
- Add the cooked potatoes and saute for a minute. Add turmeric powder, garam masala, chat masala, coriander powder, cumin powder and salt; gently mix everything cook till the potatoes are well coated with masala
- Add spinach puree and cook for 3 – 4 minutes
- Serve hot with Naan/paratha/Vegetable rice
My Notes:
- Add water if you think the gravy is too thick
- Sugar helps to retain the green color in spinach
- To make rich Can add milk/fresh cream/coconut milk to the gravy
- Whole spices (bay leaf, cinnamon, cardamom etc) can be added
- Butter can be added for flavour
- Tomatoes can be added while cooking onion
- As chat masala already contains salt adjust the salt accordingly
