Quick and simple spinach and potato curry
Aloo palak ki subzi is a classic combination,specially popular in North India.you can make it in so many ways, depending upon your choice.Some times I make a gravy curry with spinach,some times a make a dry dish to go with daal and rice,but this easy and quick aloo palak dish is semi dry,which I make in a pressure cook, but if you want a dry curry then make aloo palak ki subzi in a pan/kadahi.
I have also posted few spinach recipe , Gobhi kofta in spinach gravy, sindhi speciality spinach,lentil and mix veg curry- Sai bhaji , Himachali delicacy-Sepu vadi ,and Aloo Methi Bhujiya which is again a classic combination.

Give me that plate, i will finish it rite now without any fuss.
Hi Nilima
you don't need to add water as spinach release water while cooking,which was enough for the vegetable to get cooked perfectly in the pressure cooker,but if you want more gravy then you can add little water.
Hi,
Shouldn't we add little water while cooking in pressure cooker?
