"Saag" can refer to any kind of greens, so this one contains spring greens as well as spinach. The recipe uses loads of shortcut ingredients, so it's far from authentic - but very tasty for all that!

Steps

1

Cut the potatoes into small/medium-sized chunks and boil for five minutes. Set aside still in the hot water.
2

Over a low heat, gently fry the onion and garlic in the oil. After 2-3 minutes stir in the spices, then add the frozen spinach, ginger and coriander. Leave this to sit for a few minutes while you prepare the spring greens.
3

Remove the outer leaves and thickest stems from the spring greens, and chop the rest very finely (or shred in a food processor). Now, once the frozen ingredients have melted, stir the pan and add the chopped greens, tomatoes and a cup or so of potato water. Drain and add the potatoes, stir, cover the pan, and leave it to simmer, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are cooked and tender.
4

Meanwhile, bring 3 cups of water to the boil and add the rice, turmeric and grated carrot. Cook for about 10 minutes (or until the rice is tender) then drain and rinse.

Serve! :)
