Following from the post last week, I made an Indian dish called Saag Aloo – Spinach and potatoes.
Saag Alo is a Northern Indian vegetarian dish that tastes really good and very easy to make. Not only that, it’s healthy too. I like the combination of spinach and potatoes with the hints of spices. Saag Alo is probably something that I have just discovered as I don’t see many Indian restaurants in Malaysia serve this.
As I mentioned in my Fish Curry post, that Malaysian-Indian food has got Southern Indian influence. Now let’s see how to make Saag Alo. I have made this dish to suit my own taste.
I have never had this dish, but I made my first-ever Indian dish the other day (will post soon).
Anyway, what lens do you use…it seems to do some sophisticated blurring. 🙂
That is what I call a perfect match – delicious and healthy!
Love potatoes and spinach.
[rasa malaysia] I use the kit lense with close-up filter.
[patricia scarpin] Definitely. It’s delicious and healthy. Give it a try. Will share more recipes soon.
What a great idea – to pan fry the potatoes first. Will try soon.
You use shallot and spanish onion without garlic, is it Indian’s type of cuisine not to use garlics? I love both vegies, potatoes and spinach. I often make spinach sauteed spices, then cooked with a tablespoon of coconut milk and then sprinkled with toasted pinenuts. Glad to know you!
[steamy kitchen] Happy Cookin!
[arfi binsted] Thank you for dropping by. There are some Indian dishes that garlics are not used at all like this one that I did. It also depends on which region of Indian dishes – as far as I know Southern Indian dishes are more spicy than the Northern region.
To elaborate on the difference of Indian dishes, Malaysian Indian dishes do taste a little bit difference from those in India. I believe it’s because of mixed cultural influence.
By the way, I do like your way of making spinach too!
I am a beginner at cooking, let alone indian so sorry for the simpleness of my question…
'Some' cumin seeds & Tumuric?
Thank you
Hi Anna,
In that recipe, I didn't have a proper measurement. I would say, a pinch of cumin seeds and Tumeric.
