Aloo palak gravy recipe with step by step pictures
Aloo palak gravy is a healthy and tasty sidedish for Indian flat breads like Chapathi, naan, roti, parathas. It is rich in iron as we have added palak in it. The palak ( palak keerai) gives you nice colour and taste to the gravy. This gravy is one of my daughter's favorite. She loves the colour and texture of the gravy.
This aloo palak gravy is a better option to include spinach in kids food. Most of the kids doesn't like to eat spinach (keerai) but they loves potatoes. This gravy is very smooth as we grind the veggies in it and it is easy to feed the toddlers too. Do try at your home and sure you love it.
