Whenever we go out for curry, one of my favourite dishes to get is a Saag Aloo! So, here is my tasty 30 minute Spinach and Potato Curry (Saag Aloo). I hope you enjoy it! It also makes a great side dish at home. Serve it alongside my halloumi curry for a proper curry night.
First, you want to make the curry sauce by combining the following ingredients in a food processor:
- Tinned tomatoes
- Chilli
- Lemon juice
- Spinach
Then, fry the following ingredients in a frying pan:
- Onion
- Garlic
- Ginger
- Cumin
- Turmeric
- Garam Masala
- Salt
- Sugar
- Chilli Flakes
Once the onions, garlic, ginger, and spices have been fried off for 10 minutes, pour in the spinach sauce and give it a good stir. Transfer in your boiled potatoes, more spinach, and then serve up your Spinach and Potato Curry (Saag Aloo) and enjoy!

just made this and it was absolutely divine! I was sceptical at first as Spinach recipies can sometimes be bland but this was so delicious, a good amount of heat and the spices really came out.
stunning dish!
