Aloo Saag Spinach And Potato Stew, India

 

1 pound fresh spinach

3 medium new potatoes, peeled, cut in 1 " cubes

1/4 cup oil or clarified butter

2 teaspoons mustard seeds

1 large onion, thinly sliced

2 large garlic cloves, peeled and crushed

1 teaspoon ground coriander seed

1 teaspoon paprika

1/4 teaspoon ground cardamom seed

1 tablespoon peeled, minced fresh ginger

1 teaspoon ground black pepper

1/4 teaspoon cayenne

salt to taste

 

Chop spinach coarsely, place in a colander in the sink, and wash very well in

lukewarm water. Place clean spinach in a large pot. Add potatoes to the

spinach, cover with warm water, and bring to a boil over high heat. Lower the

heat to a simmer, and cook about 12 minutes, until the potatoes are tender.

Meanwhile heat the oil or clarified butter in another large, deep saucepan. Add

the mustard seeds and cook them until they start to hop and pop. Add sliced

onion and garlic and saute quickly over fairly high heat until translucent,

stirring often. Add all the spices except salt and saute a minute more. Remove

from heat.

When the potato mixture is tender, drain it in a colander over the sink. Reheat

the onion and spice mixture, add the potato-spinach mixture, and gently stir to

blend. Taste and add salt as desired. Simmer over low heat about 10 minutes,

until the mixture is fairly dry and the spices have been absorbed by the

vegetables.
