Saag Aloo, Saag Aloo
Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

David found this saag aloo recipe on the Olive magazine website when searching for Indian sides using potatoes.   We had some baby potatoes left and I decided I'd use them without peeling them.

Saag aloo is an Indian classic of spiced potatoes and spinach and comes flavoured with red chilli, cumin seeds, turmeric and fresh ginger.   I love spiced potatoes and loved the combination of flavours in this dish.

Tips

  • I used baby potatoes and left them unpeeled which worked really well.  Next time I’ll use Maris Piper potatoes and peel them.
  • This saag aloo recipe is easily adapted if you’re cooking for less or more people.
