SAAG ALOO
Traditional Punjabi cooking includes many vegetarian dishes. Saag aloo is made with saag (a variety of greens, including mustard greens), potatoes and spices. This vegan recipe uses frozen spinach: it could also be called palak aloo (palak meaning spinach). It makes a simple and inexpensive midweek meal, served with a bowl of dal and some chapatis or rice. Each serving provides 200 kcal, 5g protein, 20g carbohydrates (of which 4g sugars), 10g fat (of which 1g saturates), 5.5g fibre and 0.9g salt.

Steps:
- Heat the oil in a large saucepan or wok over a medium heat. Add the cumin seeds and, as they begin to sizzle, add the garlic and chillies. Fry for a minute, then add the onion and continue to fry for 7-8 minutes, stirring well.
- Add the coriander and turmeric and stir well. Add the frozen spinach, put a lid on the pan and cook over a medium heat for 5 minutes. Season with salt. As the spinach begins to release its moisture, turn the heat to low and cook for a further 5 minutes.
- Add the cubed potato and ginger and cook for 5 minutes: the potato will absorb any residual moisture. Serve with chapatis or rice.

SWEET POTATO SAAG ALOO
Saag aloo is usually made with regular potatoes but we like our sweet potato version. The great thing about these little beauties is they are richer in nutrients - particularly vitamin C - than white potatoes and lower in starch. They count towards your five a day too, while regular potatoes don't. We like to make our own spice mix for this but if you prefer you can use curry powder.

Steps:
- If making the spice mix, toast the whole spices lightly in a frying pan, then grind them to a powder. Mix with the turmeric. Heat the oil in a large flameproof casserole dish or a deep frying pan. Add the onion and cook it quite briskly until it's softened and very lightly browned. Add the garlic, ginger and the spice mix or curry powder and stir until combined. Add the sweet potatoes to the pan and stir to coat them with the garlic, ginger and spices, then add the tomato and the vegetable stock. Season with salt and pepper. Bring the stock to the boil, then turn down the heat, cover the pan and simmer very gently until the sweet potato is just cooked. This should take no longer than 10 minutes, but check regularly from 5 minutes as you don't want the sweet potato to go mushy - it should still have a little bite to it. Loosen the sauce with a little more stock or water if necessary. Add the spinach to the pan and cover the pan again until the spinach has wilted down. Stir very carefully to combine without breaking up the sweet potatoes. Add a squeeze of lemon juice and serve garnished with green chillies and fresh coriander.

SAAG ALOO
A recipe that came with my weekly vegetable delivery. I am reposting it here as it was first printed, but I prefer to parboil the potatoes before adding them to the curry. Great with rice and dahl. I often serve it with a paneer curry.

Steps:
- Fry the cumin seeds in a heavy bottomed pan in a bit of oil and butter until just starting to brown.
- Add the onion and fry until it too starts to brown.
- Add the potato, garlic, turmeric, ginger and garam masala and fry until the potato starts to soften.
- Unless you are using a non-stick pan, you may need to add water and cover to keep the potato from sticking and to help it cook. The first time I did this 1/2 cup at a time and it took about 20-30 minutes but I now prefer to parboil the potatoes, which means you add less water and it only takes about 10 minutes to finish off from this point.
- Add the spinach or chard and cook until it collapses over the potato.
- Salt to taste.
