Saag Aloo (spinach & Potatoes) for Nicole! :)

There’s a different version of the same dish with paneer, but my recipe to serve 3-4 is as follows:

350 gms of pureed spinach (I used a tin)

1 clove garlic, chopped fine

1 fresh green chilli, chopped fine

3 medium potatoes, peeled and cut into bite-sized chunks

1 tsp cumin powder

1 tsp coriander powder

Half tsp garam masala

1 tablespoon oil (any flavourless)

Salt to taste

Heat the oil and when hot fry the garlic and the green chilli. Take care not to let the garlic stick to the bottom of the pan adding a bit of hot water if necessary.

When the garlic starts going brown, add the cumin and coriander. Stir for two minutes and chuck all the potatoes in. Fry for a couple of minutes until you see the sides of the potatoes going translucent.

Then stir in the spinach, mixing the masala into it evenly. Lower the heat and simmer for about 10 minutes stirring regularly.

Stir in the garam masala powder and simmer for another two minutes or so. Add salt to taste. It was actually quite satisfying - tasty and healthy. Hope they agree..
