Indian potato curry with spinach (aloo palak)

Aloo palak is a popular Indian dish that combines tender potatoes (aloo) and fresh spinach (palak) in a flavorful, spiced curry. The dish typically features boiled cubed potatoes that are added to a sauce made from sautéed onions, garlic, ginger and tomatoes, along with a blend of spices like cumin, coriander, and turmeric. The spinach is added towards the end, allowing it to wilt and infuse the curry with its vibrant green color and nutritious benefits.
