Aloo Palak Curry

A vegetarian potato curry, which is essentially simple to create, though I have seen recipes which look like a lot of work.

The ingredients are: diced onion, garlic, ginger, cloves, cinnamon, bay leaf, ground in a mortar, for frying in a small pan.

For the Palak sauce, I used some left over tinned tomato, two handfuls of spinach leaves, turmeric, three Indian finger chillies, Some Asfoetida, garam massala curry powder, and salt. All blended. I added a dessert spoonful of cornflour, though maize or gram flour would be more traditional.

Add the stir-fried ingredients to the Palak sauce, and simmer for ten to fifteen minutes.

The potatoes were boiled before being added to the dish. Some julianed ginger was added as a garnish, along with some spinach leaves.
