Recipe - Spinach With Potato Chutney (Saag Aloo)

1 pound Potatoes; waxy
1 pound Spinach
1 lg Onion
1 Clove garlic
2 ounce Ghee
2 ounce Cooking oil
One half teaspoon Ground coriander
1 teaspoon Paprika
2 Cardamom
1 teaspoon Ground ginger
1 teaspoon Black pepper
1 teaspoon Salt

Wash the spinach well and then put into a large saucepan. Just cover with
water and bring to the boil. Meanwhile, peel and cut the potatoes into
1inch cubes and add to the saucepan. Simmer the spinach and potatoes for
about 1015 minutes until the potatoes begin to soften. Now drain the
saucepand of water and place the spinache and potato mixture to one side.

Peel and thinly slice the onion and garlic. Heat the ghee or cooking oil in
another saucepan and add the onion and garlic and cook for 2 minutes. Then
add the spices but not the salt. Stir for a further minute and add the
potato and spinach mixture. Combine this gently with the spice mixture,
making sure not to crush the potatoes. Add the salt, adding slightly more
or less according to taste. Allow to simmer very slowly for a further 10
minutes. The idea is that all the spice mixture should be easily absorbed
into the vegetables.

This dish should be very dry and it should not be necessary to add any
extra water as the spinach holds quite a lot of water itself.
