Saag Aloo -Simple and Rustic potato and spinach curry

Saag aloo is the simplest aloo palak curry and every one loves it for its mild and fresh flavors. It’s a very easy to cook stir fry with basic Indian spices. It is a very popular Indian dish in U.K.

There are many versions of making aloo palak , some are made the rich and  creamy style loaded with cream or yogurt which are also very tasty but you will not be able to taste the true flavour of palak.I have seen many people add tomatoes and many spices to make saag aloo but the authentic way of making saag aloo is to add very few spices and only spinach and potato ,no tomato or yogurt is added in it .Avoid overcooking of spinach ,just cook till done.

There is one more version of making Aloo Palak , North Indian style – Aloo palak ki bhujiya .As Spinach is very good for health so I always try to add it in our meal-

  • Sepu vadi ,
  • Spinach corn curry ,
  • Stuffed spinach and cheese balls,
  • Palak Raita,
  • Daal hariyali ,
  • Hara bhara kabab
