Thisย has been one of my favourites from takeaways for a number of years, even in pre-vegan days. Potatoes and spinach, it’s just a tasty combination. I had bought already made saag aloo but had never tried to make it myself and I was surprised at how fast and easy it was.

We added the chickpeas and half a head of cauliflower to get that extra veg in. Not strictly a sag aloo but a good base for any veg curry.
