Aloo palak is a very very simple, but tasty dish. Always we will have potatoes at home..and spinach is available throughout the year. Spinach is soft..or potatoes are soft??? Both vying with each other with their soft texture in this dish.... So, this dish can be whipped up in a jiffy for rotis. Goes well with Jeera rice or peas pulav too.
