Spinach is one of my favorite veggie dishes because it is full of nutrients and health benefits.There are two ways to prepare ,non-vegetarian can enjoy aloo palak gosht and vegetarian,discard the mutton and enjoy aloo palak curry.
- 1 big bunch of Spinach
- Mutton pieces
- 1 medium Onion, grated or chopped finely
- 1 large Potato, peeled and cubed
- 1 Tomato, chopped
- 1-2 Green chillies
- 1 tsp Ginger and Garlic paste
- 1 tsp Red chilli powder
- 1/2 tsp Coriander powder
- pinch of Turmeric powder
- Salt to taste
- Water
- Oil
- Coriander for garnishing
- First wash and marinate the mutton pieces with ginger and garlic paste,salt,turmeric powder and red chilli powder for 30 minutes.
- Take your bunch of fresh spinach.Wash/clean and get the leaves off the stems. Discard stems and drain the leaves then chop them into very thin slices.
- Heat some oil in a pan,add the chopped onion and fry to a nice light brown, then add a green chili with slits and then the marinated mutton pieces.
- Cook for few minutes and then add the chopped tomatoes and sprinkle coriander powder. Cook until the tomatoes are soft and mushy and you can see the oil being released from the sides.
- Add the cubed potatoes at this point so they can absorb the flavors properly.Next add water and bring the mutton and potatoes to boil.
- Next add the spinach, give it a stir then cover and let this cook, giving it an occasional stir every few minutes.
- The spinach will reduce drastically in amount. Do not cook it for too long, you will lose all the nutrients.You can add water if it get dries completely.
- Once it’s done to your liking,garnish with coriander and serve.
