Saag aloo (frozen spinach)

https://www.bbc.co.uk/food/recipes/saag_aloo_32582

3 tbsp vegetable oil

2 tsp cumin seeds

5 garlic cloves, sliced

2 bird’s-eye red or green chillies, finely chopped

115g/4oz onion, finely chopped

1 tbsp ground coriander

1 tsp ground turmeric

400g/14oz frozen chopped spinach

350g/12oz potatoes, peeled, cut into large cubes and boiled until just tender

1cm/½in piece fresh root ginger, cut into slivers

salt

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.
