Aloo Palak (Uttar Pradesh Style) / Potato Spinach Dry Curry

This is how I usually make aloo palak, which could be served with both rice and roti. Here onion, garlic and green chilli are lightly fried, then potatoes are added and cooked. When potatoes are half done spinach and other spices are added and cooked and then finally stir fried for a few minutes. The other type is the Punjabi style aloo palak where cooked potatoes are simmered in a pureed spinach gravy.

Palak / Saag Chicken (Chicken in Spinach Gravy)

Going green on St. Patrick's Day! Yesterday we had chapathi and palak chicken for dinner. I didn't make it with St. Paddy's day in mind; it just happened that way. My son came to the conclusion that he had 'green water' and 'green cupcake' at school, so we are having 'green chicken' for dinner. For the gravy, spinach leaves are immersed in boiling water for a few minutes, then immersed in cold water to retain its color and then pureed in a blender. Marinated chicken is cooked with onion, garlic, ginger, green chilli, tomatoes and other spices and then mixed with the spinach gravy. Kasoori methi and butter or cream could be added towards the end to get the restaurant taste.

Palak Paneer (Indian Cottage Cheese in Spinach Gravy)

 
A delicious paneer dish in spinach gravy popular in North India. Paneer fried in ghee is cooked in a spinach-tomato-cream gravy along with fried onions, green chilli, ginger, garlic and other spices. Spinach and tomatoes are cooked in boiling water (blanched) and then pureed to get the rich, smooth gravy. Finish off the dish with cream and kasuri methi to get the restaurant like taste. Serve with roti, naan or chapathi.

Spinach Lasagna (Florentine Lasagna)

Spinach lasagna is one of my favorite lasagna. Instead of frozen spinach, I used freshly cooked spinach with some spices and it turned out super delicious.

Macaroni and Paneer (Indian Cheese) with Spinach


I was very curious and excited to try this macaroni dish where paneer (Indian cheese) is used instead of the usual cheddar cheese. This is a must try recipe for paneer lovers. Addition of spinach and parmesan cheese make the dish heavenly.
