You can't beat a tasty Saag Aloo with some fresh Naan Bread to mop up all the lovely juices.

Here's how to make one.

Ingredients: (makes 4 Portions)

3 medium cooked Potatoes, cut into chunks

about 500g Tomatoes, chopped

about 300g fresh Spinach, washed and roughly chopped

3 tbs Vegetable Oil

1 Onion, finely diced

3 Garlic Cloves, minced

1 inch of Ginger, minced

1 tsp Brown Mustard Seeds

1 tsp Cumin Seeds

1 tsp ground Coriander

1 tsp ground Turmeric

1 tsp Cayenne Pepper

Heat the Oil in a wok and add the Cumin Seeds and Mustard seeds. Leave them until they start to crackle and pop.

Then add the onion and stir fry until the edges of the onion start to brown slightly and soften.

Then add the Garlic, Ginger and Chilli.

Stir a little more then add the Coriander, Turmeric and Cayenne.

Next the Tomatoes go in, another little stir, and the spinach follows.

Let the spinach wilt before folding in the Potato chunks.
