Saag aloo, a flavorful and comforting north-Indian spinach curry with potatoes. Here's an easy 30-minute recipe for the Instant Pot or stove.

Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon cumin seeds
  • 2 teaspoon minced ginger (about ½-inch piece)
  • 1 tablespoon minced garlic (about 3 cloves)
  • 1 cup onion ((1 medium onion, chopped or sliced))
  • 1 serrano chili ((deseed or skip for mild))
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon turmeric powder ()
  • 1 teaspoon garam masala (homemade or store-bought)
  • 2 teaspoon coriander powder
  • 1 teaspoon cumin powder
  • 1 teaspoon kashmiri red chilli powder ((or Paprika))
  • 12 oz. baby spinach
  • 1 cup water (adjust based on size of pot)
  • 2 cups russet or gold potato (cubed in 1-inch pieces (1 large russet, or 2 gold))

Directions

  1. 1

    Coarsely chop or slice onions, mince ginger and garlic. Peel and chop potato in ½-inch cubes. Wash the baby spinach, if not pre-washed. 

  2. 2

    Heat a deep sauce pan on medium high heat. Since spinach puree tends to splash when simmering, using a deep sauce pan prevents it from messing the cooktop.
