Simple Aloo Palak Sabzi

Today, while having lunch, one of my colleagues sitting on the lunch table opened her lunch box and said I cooked food today and was all in smiles :).  Being able to cook good food with all the love and dedication is so important for the dish to turn perfect!

There are people who don’t know how to cook or even feel that cooking is a waste of time and would prefer eating the ready made food that is available on the table. My strongest belief when it comes to cooking is that when cooked with love, a simple dish will taste out of this world. Everyday cooking need not be complicated. The beauty of home cooked food is its simplicity.

I recently made this simple Aloo palak Sabzi. Just 10 to 15 minutes and  few simple steps to follow... it turned out finger licking good!    I had packed this for lunch that day.  Girish Kulkarni a colleague tasted the sabzi and since that day, he would say Prema, let me know when you come for lunch and I can get some yummy food to eat.  Whenever I meet him at lunch table, I do give him a bite of the food that I pack for lunch!  It feels great to share as sharing is caring!
