Simple Sag Aloo (Indian Potato and Spinach) image

Made this to go with a lamb patia on Friday. Very easy and makes a tasty side-dish for your curry. Don't use over-floury potatoes, because you need them to hold together. You can use fresh spinach instead, but I always have frozen in my freezer so it's easier for me.

Time 30m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

8 medium potatoes, unpeeled and cut into cubes
4 garlic cloves, finely chopped
2 medium tomatoes, deseeded and cut into strips
4 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 teaspoon cumin
1 teaspoon turmeric
1 teaspoon garam masala
1 teaspoon chili powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon mustard seeds
400 g frozen spinach

Steps:

  • Defrost the spinach and drain well. Squeeze it to get rid of as much moisture as possible.
  • Meanwhile, boil the cubed potatoes until they are almost cooked through (but not falling apart). Drain well.
  • Heat the oil in a large pan or wok and, when hot, add the potatoes and all the spices, stirring to coat everything.
  • When the potatoes have started to crisp up slightly, add the garlic and tomatoes and stir for a few more seconds, then add the spinach.
  • If using fresh spinach, you want it to be just wilted, or with frozen, warmed through.
  • Taste and adjust seasoning as required then serve immediately.
