Saag Curry Recipe

Cooking Instructions

1. 1

   Prepare the Spinach

   Wash the fresh spinach thoroughly, then blanch it in boiling water for 2-3 minutes. Drain and immediately transfer to ice water to stop the cooking process. Once cooled, blend into a smooth puree and set aside.

2. 2

   Cook the Onions

   In a large pan, heat the cooking oil over medium heat. Add the cumin seeds and let them sizzle for a few seconds. Then add the chopped onions and sauté until golden brown.

3. 3

   Add Aromatics

   Stir in the minced garlic and grated ginger, cooking for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

4. 4

   Incorporate Spices and Tomato

   Add the turmeric powder, coriander powder, and fenugreek leaves. Cook for another minute before adding the pureed tomato. Simmer for about 5-7 minutes until the mixture thickens.

5. 5

   Combine with Spinach

   Mix in the spinach puree, and season with salt. Stir well and let it simmer for another 5 minutes, allowing all flavors to meld.

6. 6

   Finish with Garam Masala

   Sprinkle the garam masala over the curry, stir, and cook for an additional 2 minutes.

7. 7

   Serve

   Serve hot, optionally garnished with a drizzle of cream. Enjoy with rice or naan.
