Red Chard Saag image

Had some Red Chard that needed a good using a little while back, figured "hey, it's kinda like spinach... why not do up some saag with it?"... the result was not only tasty, but it was visually very stunning as well. I use Patak's Vindaloo sauce here, as it's a quick way to get the right balance of spices, but if you've got a spice set that you like, that will no doubt work too.

This dish was very easy to make and very flavorful. I used a bit less oil than the recipe called for, and it was still plenty oily for my taste.
