India-Saag

 

1 small onion, sliced

1 entire head of garlic, peeled and finely chopped

2 tbsps. vegetable oil

1 tomato, diced, or one small can diced tomatoes

1 tsp. salt

1 tsp. turmeric

1/2 tsp. cayenne pepper, or to taste

1 tbsp. whole coriander seed, toasted in a dry fry pan and then crushed or

ground

1 potato, peeled and diced into 1 inch cubes

2 to 3 pounds fresh spinach, washed, stemmed and coarsely chopped

 

You put the whole bag in the microwave and nuke it for 2-3 minutes. That way

it has already started to wilt and makes it easier to stir into the recipe.

Heat a large frypan on medium heat and add the oil. When the oil is hot, add the

onions and fry, stirring until they brown. Then add the chopped garlic and stir

just until the garlic starts to release its oils. Don't let it burn!

Then add the tomatoes, salt, turmeric, cayenne and coriander. Stir to blend, and

until you get the nice aromas of the spices coming through. Stir in the potatoes

and toss to coat, for about 2-3 minutes. Add the spinach, (you may have to add

it in batches) and maybe a quarter cup of water. Cover the pan, and simmer,

stirring occasionally, until the spinach has wilted and the potatoes have cooked

all the way through. Excellent as a side dish, or main course vegetarian meal.
