Sag Aloo

About

Saag Aloo is a vibrant and flavorful Indian dish that combines the richness of potatoes with the earthiness of leafy greens, such as mustard greens or spinach. The recipe typically involves sautéing onions, garlic, and ginger in oil, followed by the addition of spices like cumin, coriander, and turmeric. Potatoes are then added and cooked until they are tender but still retain some firmness. The dish is completed by incorporating the leafy greens, which wilt into the spiced potato mixture, creating a harmonious blend of textures and flavors. This versatile dish can be customized with various types of greens and spices, making it a staple in North Indian cuisine. Saag Aloo is often served with whole grain flatbreads like roti or paratha, or alongside steamed rice. Its simplicity and depth of flavor make it a popular choice for both casual meals and special occasions. The dish is also easily adaptable to different dietary preferences, such as vegan or gluten-free options, by substituting ingredients like non-dairy yogurt or using gluten-free spices.
