chana saag aloo


I haven't made anything new or interesting lately. However, I also haven't posted a pic of this yet. It's modified from a recipe I found online. It's a coconut curry with light tomato, potato, chick peas, and spinach. I serve it with white jasmine rice (yeah I know, brown is better, but it's just not the same!!) It also contains nutritional yeast, which makes it nice and creamy (not to mention really nutritious!)

Oh, I have been wanting to make a coconut curry and just bought a can of light coconut milk for the occasion. Yours looks so creamy and delightful.

Hey did I mention I made this dish early this week? Except the store didn't have any "saag" so I used collard greens instead. It was really good, thanks for the recipe! :)

Hey Carrie, here's the chana saag aloo recipe:

2 cups fresh spinach, chopped into thin strips
1 cup ripe tomato, chopped
2 tbs nutritional yeast
1 tbsp oil
1 tbsp curry powder
0.5 tsp cayenne pepper
salt to taste


Instructions:
------------------------------------------------------

Simmer over medium heat for about 20 minutes, then stir in shredded spinach. Let it wilt, then serve over rice.

Makes two good-sized servings. White jasmine rice worked well with this, but I imagine lots of kinds would. This reheats well.
