Aloo Palak-Potato Cooked in a creamy Spinach Sauce


For the third of Blogging Marathon #46 under the theme no onion -garlic recipe,I am sharing a creamy rich gravy.
I had aloo palak in a restaurant buffet sometime back and I liked it a lot.The potatoes were deep fried and added,also lot of fresh cream was added.
But here rather than deep frying I fried it in the pan and added.Since I didn't have cream,made it with no cream.Try this simple yet delicious creamy curry,off to the recipe......................................
