A delicious Sag Aloo that really hits the spot.

I’ve been looking at various recipes for sag aloo for a while now. None of them seemed to give me the result I was after. Every now and then, Spices of India send me an email wanting me to buy their pretty expensive spices. This time round, they also sent a recipe for sag aloo. As it was from them, I thought it might hit the spot and decided to give it a go.

Asda is not showing the 100g packs of spices, if you can get these, the spices are much much better value
I’m so glad you liked it, and mixing cuisines is totally allowed
I realise that this is an older post, but I’ve just made this an it was absolutely delicious, even with the substitutions I made. I had it with dosas, which I know is mixing regional cuisines, but the ethnic food police haven’t knocked at my door, yet!
This recipe is very definitely a keeper.
I just used tinned because I wanted to see what they were like
The recipe sounds yummy. I like to use fresh potatoes. They are on sale in Toronto now.
Looking for a way to freeze the potatoes.
