Adarki Aloo Palak | Ginger flavoured Potato and Spinach Curry

I had 2 bunches of fresh spinach with me and after making spinach stir fry,
some palak dal I was thinking what to do with the rest of spinach and then I
saw adarki
Aloo Palak at Anu place & tempted to try it.  I do make almost same way aloo palak but adding
ginger was something very tempting and it added kick to the dish.  I also
shared this dish with my friend which she loved it along with her family. 
I'm sure going to try this again and enjoy with some hot pulkas.  The list
of ingredients may look long but it's quite an easy recipe and most of the
ingredients easily available in our pantry and ya I did made few changes in the recipes.
