Having pre-cooked a load of potatoes for my recent and future vindaloo curries, I decided to use up some fresh spinach in the fridge, so went for CBM's take on Saag Aloo with some plain boiled basmati and a couple of chapattis.

I left the curry a little saucy so I could mop up with the chapattis, added a couple of chopped green chillies for additional heat and threw in a couple of tbsp of the gravy left over from cooking the potatoes. I also skimmed off about 4tbsp of spiced oil from the left-over gravy to start the curry off. Delicious! :)

Looks damn tasty to me Naga. I'm starting to sneak the odd bit of potato into some of my curries in place of chicken as it just adds a bit of variety. I know it only really belongs in a vindaloo (or a veggie curry!) but i don't care.

A plate of saag :'(

Nice one Mr Naga. Veggie...you'll be hugging tress next :D
And I love potatoes in a curry. :)

This oil looks real nice and spicy 8)

Lovely looking plate of food Naga, I really enjoy potato in my curry, so much better than eggs ;)
Should have added some coriander ::)

Thanks, guys! It was really tasty. And the pre-cooked potato gravy and oil was so good, you could eat it cold with a spoon (I did!).
Did I mention that I like coriander? :)

Gotta love coriander :)
What potato pre-cook did you use Naga?
-
That looks lovely Naga. Being a potato grower, Im of the belief that EVERY meal (even deserts :o) whether curried or not should include some spuds ;D ;D

It was CBM's 'Advanced' Pre-Cooked Potato recipe from his Volume II, MA. After cooking, I strained the gravy then reduced it down over a high heat to recover the oil and the flavoursome paste. It's really nice on it's own! :)

I'm not sure about spuds in desserts, Mick! I committed something of a sin in the pre-cooking of the potatoes as I used around 1.5kg of Charlottes, which I peeled before cooking. In my defence, they were rather old and had started to sprout! But they were delicious, and I still have two-thirds of the pre-cook in the freezer. :)

Timing is everything, Stephen! I only used 90g out of a 180g bag of fresh spinach. After it wilted, I reckon I could have used the entire bag. I'll know better next time. Hope your friend enjoys it as much as I did. :)

Cheers Naga, will give that a try on Saturday :)

I'm sure that tasted as good as it looks Keith and it sure does look the business. My favourite veg side after brinjal bhaji. Very good choice on selection of prep method for the spuds too. I will make this very soon but use frozen spinach which will be prepped as per Ali Viceroy method and combine this with the aloo. Should be a match made in heaven. May even morph it into a chicken saag aloo :P
