SAAG ALOO
Traditional Punjabi cooking includes many vegetarian dishes. Saag aloo is made with saag (a variety of greens, including mustard greens), potatoes and spices. This vegan recipe uses frozen spinach: it could also be called palak aloo (palak meaning spinach). It makes a simple and inexpensive midweek meal, served with a bowl of dal and some chapatis or rice. Each serving provides 200 kcal, 5g protein, 20g carbohydrates (of which 4g sugars), 10g fat (of which 1g saturates), 5.5g fibre and 0.9g salt.

Steps:
- Heat the oil in a large saucepan or wok over a medium heat. Add the cumin seeds and, as they begin to sizzle, add the garlic and chillies. Fry for a minute, then add the onion and continue to fry for 7-8 minutes, stirring well.
- Add the coriander and turmeric and stir well. Add the frozen spinach, put a lid on the pan and cook over a medium heat for 5 minutes. Season with salt. As the spinach begins to release its moisture, turn the heat to low and cook for a further 5 minutes.
- Add the cubed potato and ginger and cook for 5 minutes: the potato will absorb any residual moisture. Serve with chapatis or rice.

WEEKNIGHT ALOO GOBI SAAG
Whenever I am craving Indian food, a golden saag always appears in my mind's eye. Popping mustard and cumin seeds sizzling alongside soft sweet potatoes or cauliflower, adorned with wilted collard greens. Saag dishes are most commonly eaten in the Indian subcontinent in Nepal, Odisha, and West Bengal. It's traditionally served with a maize flour roti, fluffy naan, or chapati in the Punjab region, where it's most commonly eaten.

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.

SAAG ALOO
A recipe that came with my weekly vegetable delivery. I am reposting it here as it was first printed, but I prefer to parboil the potatoes before adding them to the curry. Great with rice and dahl. I often serve it with a paneer curry.

Steps:
- Fry the cumin seeds in a heavy bottomed pan in a bit of oil and butter until just starting to brown.
- Add the onion and fry until it too starts to brown.
- Add the potato, garlic, turmeric, ginger and garam masala and fry until the potato starts to soften.
- Unless you are using a non-stick pan, you may need to add water and cover to keep the potato from sticking and to help it cook. The first time I did this 1/2 cup at a time and it took about 20-30 minutes but I now prefer to parboil the potatoes, which means you add less water and it only takes about 10 minutes to finish off from this point.
- Add the spinach or chard and cook until it collapses over the potato.
- Salt to taste.
