    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!

    Spinach & Potato Curry

    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!
