Aloo Palak Gravy
Lightly roasted potatoes in spinach, onion and tomato gravy. The gravy is very creamy, as it has cashew paste in it..A very good gravy to go with soft phulkas. A very easy recipe, and gives you the just-like-restaraunt taste. Made a mild spiced version of this gravy, and the kids (who refuse to go near any greens ) just loved it !
