Aloo Palak (Spinach and Potatoes)
Vegetarian Times Issue: September 1, 2009 p.12
Kelly Martin from Vernon, Conn., admits she's a huge lover of Indian food, but horrible when it comes to re-creating it. "I had some leftover coconut milk with no idea of how to use it. In it went, and voilà! Not only did it give me that Indian flavor I wanted, but it gave me a creamy texture I thought I could only get with cream."
Directions
1. Preheat oven to 425°F. Stir together spinach, 3/4 cup spinach liquid, potatoes, garlic powder, curry powder, cumin, and salt in 9-inch square baking dish. Cover with foil, and bake 45 minutes.
2. Remove from oven. Stir in coconut milk, and transfer to serving bowl.

Great, easy version of aloo palak. I increased the coconut milk to 1 cup but otherwise followed the recipe. Yum!
This was absolutely delicious. Instead of the curry powder and cumin, I used garam masala.
Overall it was very good, but just a tad salty. I'd cut down on that to maybe 1/2 tsp
I agree about the salt! We ended up adding more coconut milk just to cut the salty taste. But, it is definetley a recipe I will make again!
