Hi DeeDee by the look of those potatoes are they roasted or deep fried ?
Great picture does look appetizing.

Unclefrank,

I just followed the recipe so I think the look of the potatoes comes from the turmeric. 

As a recent convert to being a vegetarian (health reasons) I've dabbled with swapping out chicken for veggies in some of my fave recipes (Madras, Jalfrezi etc). 

I've found that dry cooking unpeeled potato chunks in a wok with turmeric and water for a while until they are half cooked and then using 'as if' it was prepared chicken works a treat.  The potatoes have a nice earthy roasted 'feel' and don't fall apart as much as par boiled and such.

Just tried this... very tasty indeed, although I didn't use enough spinach, next time I will use more!

I'm glad you both enjoyed it, I tend to prefer cooking fresh hence this recipe. I do however, have a more authentic BIR version that I really must get round to posting. :)

What a coincidence ive just made saag aloo today for the supermarkets - 60 to be exact - ours have a little more sauce - It helps in the freezing and defrosting to eat

Tomorrow is Aloo Matar - i wonder if anyone is doing that - will be making 60 again..

Coincidence cant believe it really making them today then seeing a thread on here.  Marvelous!!!


best, Rich

I didn't think spuds froze very well ?? If they do I'll definitely be giving it a go

Your are right - we have a little sauce in ours to coat and protect them - it seems to work with our vindaloo - we sell quite a bit.
Lets hope it works with the Saag Aloo they will be in the supermarkets and on sale for the weekend.
