Ingredients

• 50 ml Vegetable Oil
• 300 g Spinach finely chopped
• 300 g Potatoes chopped
• 1 Onion finely chopped
• 5 Garlic Cloves chopped
• 2 Green Chillies finely chopped
• 1 Tomato chopped
• 1 tsp Salt
• 1 tsp Chilli Powder
• 1 tsp Turmeric Powder haldi
• Coriander finely chopped

Instructions

• In a large pot heat up the vegetable oil on medium heat until hot
• Add the finely diced onions and the salt then cook for 3-4 minutes until the onions are slightly softened – adding the salt with the onions helps to bring the moisture out of the onion to allow them to cook down and brown more evenly without burning the onions
• Add the chopped tomatoes and the garlic cloves then cook for 6-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the tomatoes and garlic soften
• Add the chilli powder and turmeric powder then cook the spices for 4-6 minutes adding a few tablespoons of water to prevent the spices from burning
• Add the finely chopped green chilies and cook for another 1-2 minutes
• Add the finely chopped spinach into the pan and gently mix the spices into the spinach before covering with a lid and cooking for 15-20 minutes until the spinach has released its excess water
• As the spinach is cooking peel the potatoes and cut into large chunks then add into pan before covering and cook for 15 minutes until the potatoes have softened
• Add the finely chopped coriander then cook for 1-2 minutes
• Your saag aloo curry is ready!
