  2. Hi Shobha,
    I am new to your website and I live in New York City. During this week, I made the Aloo Palak from your recipe. It was delicious and I enjoyed preparing all the herbs and spices as well. It has always been one of my favorite dishes but I never thought I could prepare it on my own. Thanks for a great recipe. I am going to try the the cauliflower curry next!
