Re: Saag Aloo
I do like a saag aloo but I more often make chana aloo for the extra protein. I also keep frozen spinach in the freezer and find it really useful for either dish.

Another vote for chana aloo. It is too easy to overcook spinach and lose the nutrients.

If you are cooking spinach in a curry, the nutrients are retained in the sauce and are not lost. If you boil up spinach and throw away the water you will lose vitamin C.

Off on a tangent...

"Dozens of Australian shoppers were left hallucinating after their tubs of baby spinach were contaminated by a weed with apparent psychoactive properties."
"The patients that have been quite unwell have been to the point of marked hallucinations where they are seeing things that aren’t there”

Spinach is high in oxalate which promotes kidney stones. "Kidney Stones and Spinach, Chard, and Beet Greens: Don’t Eat Too Much":

If you boil the spinach and throw away the water, you lose half the oxalate.

Re: Saag Aloo
We like saag as well. Between May and October we use rainbow chard from the garden, same thing. I discovered this super recipe on Sanjeev Kapoor a while ago if you like animal protein, (eggs). 4 portions with naan or rice.
https://www.sanjeevkapoor.com/Recipe/An ... dFood.html
"Besan" is chick pea flour.
When using chard as spinach, I strip the leaves from the stalks and use those for another dish or slice them small and cook before adding the shredded chard. To "plain" cook spinach, I use only a dessert spoon or so of water to start it off, a knob of butter, some nutmeg and a very small pinch of salt. Cover with a tight fitting lid and start off slow, stir it up after couple of minutes to make sure it is not catching. When cooked to your satifaction, i. e. wilted will only take a few minutes if that, then drain the liquid, reduce it to nothing and add it back to the cooked spinach. At least, that is what I do at home.
