This is not my favorite, but one of Mike's favorite Indian dishes. I'm partial to vindaloo myself, anyone have a good recipe for that?
Saag (spinach sauce)
1 lb spinach
2 cloves garlic
3/4 inch fresh ginger, grated
2 green chilies, chopped
1 medium onion, chopped
2 Tbsp oil or ghee
1 tsp salt
1 tsp ground cumin
1/2 tsp nutmeg
3 Tbsp yoghurt or plain yogurt
1 cup water
1/2 cup cream or half/half
Steam spinach over simmering water until tender. Squeeze out excess moisture and chop finely.
Place garlic, ginger, chili, and onion in a food processor, process until very finely chopped, or a paste.
Heat ghee in wok, add paste and cook over medium heat for 5 minutes. Add salt, cumin, nutmeg, yogurt, and water. Simmer 5 minutes. Transer mixture back to food processor, add steamed spinach and process until smooth. Return mixture to wok, add cream, and cook for 10 minutes or until sauce is heated through.
