Potato Spinach or Rainbow Chard stir fry. Aloo Palak. Vegan Potato Spinach Stir Fry

Mom has been whipping up some simple veggie sides to serve with Dals every day. She found some rainbow chard the other day and asked me what it is. I said its just another green veggie like spinach. Remove the hard stems and use. So she made a stir fry with it and told Dad it is Aloo Palak(potato spinach) with a different palak. Since it was a part of the indian food plate, he ate all of it.

Since then she has made aloo kale, aloo chard and aloo palak several times. I finally managed to sneak in the process to photograph and here goes. 

Thats Dad’s Indian food plate below. One veggie side, one dal, flatbread, sliced up salad veggies. Sometimes there is pickle and papadum on the side too.

A few more days till a somewhat family reunion. My bro and his wife coming over next week for  few days, so I will be m.i.a next weekend entertaining them and my parents.. catch some of the action on my Instagram.
