Aloo Palak
- 2 tablespoons peanut oil
- 1 teaspoon cumin seeds
- 1 teaspoon mustard seeds
- 2 dried red chile peppers, cut in half
- 6 fresh curry leaves
- 1/2 teaspoon ground turmeric
- 1 pinch asafoetida powder
- 2 cups cubed potatoes
- salt to taste
- 2 tablespoons water
- 1 tablespoon peanut oil
- 6 cups chopped fresh spinach
- salt to taste
- 1/2 teaspoon ground red pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
- Heat 2 tablespoons peanut oil in a skillet; fry the cumin seeds, mustard seeds, and red chile peppers in the hot oil until the seeds begin to splutter, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the curry leaves, turmeric, and asafoetida powder; fry another 30 seconds. Stir the potatoes into the mixture to coat; cook until they begin to brown, about 5 minutes. Season with salt. Sprinkle the water over the potatoes; cover the skillet with a lid and cook until the potatoes are cooked, but still firm, about 10 minutes.
- Heat 1 tablespoon peanut oil in a separate skillet; cook the spinach in the hot oil until wilted. Sprinkle with salt; continue cooking until all the excess moisture evaporates, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir into the potato mixture. Season with the ground red pepper and cumin; stir. Cook until the spices integrate, 5 to 10 minutes. Serve hot.
