Sag Aloo



I get cravings for this every few months. I love spinach, and since I can no longer eat sag paneer, this is my replacement spinach curry.

It goes a little something like this...

Chop up the equivalent of 4 medium baking potatoes into square inch pieces.
place in baking dish
cover with 2 Tbsp oil - I used hemp oil.

Add:
1 Tsp cumin
1 Tsp coriander
1 Tbsp curry powder
1 Tbsp garlic powder
1 Tsp chilli powder
dash salt/pepper

mix it all together and bake at gas mark 5 (190°C) for about 30 minutes.

I used fresh spinach, but I guess you could use frozen...
Chop 300-400 grams of spinach and wilt by stiring over medium heat for 30 seconds. You could use an imersion blender if you want a more saucy spinach mixture.

Add the spinach to the potatoes (after the 30 minutes of cooking time) and cook for another ten minutes.

During this time, I made up about 350 ml of this stuff:


chunks of cheese, or white sauce could be added instead if you do the dairy thing.

I added the creamy mixture to the potatoes and spinach and cooked for another 5 minutes.

And voila... spinach wonderment!

Serve with rice or quinoa, or on its own

Serves 3-4
