Recipe Notes
Expert Tips for the Best Aloo Palak Rice:
- For extra flavor, lightly sauté the spices in the oil for a minute before adding the potatoes. This will help to bloom the spices and enhance their aroma.
- If you don't have Pav Bhaji Masala, you can substitute it with a blend of cumin, coriander, and turmeric powder.
- Adjust the amount of red chili powder to control the spiciness level according to your preference.
- Don't overcook the rice; it should be fluffy and separate, not mushy. If the rice seems dry, add a tablespoon of water while cooking.
