Time 35m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 pounds large-leaf spinach
1/4 cup olive oil
1 cup finely chopped onion
1 tablespoon finely chopped garlic
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh ginger
3 to 4 Thai bird chilis, each about 1 1/2 inches long, seeded and finely chopped
1 pound baby spinach
1 teaspoon turmeric powder
Salt to taste
1/4 cup dried fenugreek leaves
1 tablespoon butter
1/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
1/2 cup heavy cream, optional

Steps:

  • Prepare a large bowl of ice water, and set aside. Place a large pot of water over high heat, and bring to a boil. Add large-leaf spinach, and blanch until bright green and tender, 1 to 2 minutes. Drain, immediately plunge into ice water until cooled, and drain again. Squeeze out excess moisture, chop finely, and set aside.
  • In a large sauté pan over medium heat, heat olive oil until shimmering. Add onion, and cook until soft and golden, 7 to 8 minutes. Add garlic, ginger, and chilies and sauté until the garlic and ginger are light brown, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the baby spinach and cook 1 minute. Add turmeric, and sauté 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Add the blanched, chopped spinach. Season with salt to taste. Cook 5 to 10 minutes, stirring often. Add fenugreek leaves, butter, nutmeg, and, if desired, heavy cream. Simmer 5 minutes more, stirring occasionally. If necessary, lower heat to medium-low. Serve hot topped with, if desired, fried potato dumplings.

I'm allergic to spinach. Can I use another green vegetable instead?

I tried this recipe but I didn't have any garam masala. I used curry powder instead and it turned out great!

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my saag aloo turned out bland and watery.

I'm not a huge fan of spinach, but this dish was surprisingly good. The potatoes were soft and creamy, and the spinach was flavorful without being overpowering.
