Aloo Saag (Kit-kat has sampled this. It's so easy, and tasssty.)
Ingredients
five or six medium sized potatoes, washed, peeled and diced.
around 600g of Spinach. or as much/little as you like, it's equally nice as 'potatoes with spinach' or 'spinach with potatoes'. Washed and shredded.
three or four good tomatoes, chopped into large chunks.
3/4 garlic cloves, chopped finely
2cm ginger, chopped finely
small pinch cumin seeds
one hot green chilly, chopped, seeds and all, finely.
Veg oil, for frying.
water/stock
Method
*Heat oil on a medium flame in a large pan/deep frying pan.
*fry garlic,ginger, cumin for a couple of minutes.
*add chilly, turn down, fry for 4-5mins/until you can smell the spices releasing.
*add chopped potatoes and fry for 6-10 mins, until potatoes are nicely coated with spices. Stir frequently, as potatoes tend to stick a little
*add tomatoes, fry for a couple of minutes
*add spinach, and enough water/stock to cover the ingredients+a couple of inches.
*bring to boil, then turn down and simmer for half an hour. Check occasionally, you may need to add water/turn up and reduce slightly.
Basically, as long as the potatoes are cooked, it's up to you what consistency you want from the dish. I like it this simple, with good fresh veg, but it's also a good basis for playing about. I've had good results adding a bit of mustard (powder) and butter to stock/water
Delish with rice, pittas, toast, anything. Mmmmmm.
My absolute fave. receep of the moment. |
