Serve this delicious dish alongside Tarka Dal for an Indian Meal everyone will enjoy! I love Indian food. When we go out to a restaurant, I tend to order vegetarian dishes. I’m not sure why, but I’d rather have two vegetable side dishes with rice than any one dish. It’s my go-to order. More often than not, I order Saag Bhaji, a comforting and flavorful spinach curry that is delicious and healthy at the same time. I would probably also have a serving of Tarka Dal. If you aren’t familiar with Tarka Dal or want to try making your own, check out my Tarka Dal recipe. I’ve been told this spinach curry isn’t a dish you would actually find in India – much like many other foreign foods we order in restaurants, I guess. Nevertheless, I think it makes a gorgeous vegetarian meal, served as a main dish with pilau rice, or as a side dish to an Indian curry feast. So even though this Spinach Curry might not be found in India, you still get all the aromatic Indian flavors you’d expect from a restaurant-style curry and I guarantee you will not miss the meat at all.
How to Make Quick and Easy Saag Bhaji {Spinach Curry}:
Heat the oil & butter on medium-high heat. Add the chopped onion and fry until it starts to soften. Add the garlic and cook another minute. Add the ginger and cook another minute. Add cumin, turmeric, garam masala, and tomato paste Stir to combine and cook another minute to release the flavors. Slowly stir in the chicken stock. Add by the cilantro followed by the spinach.
