Saag Aloo Matar

 From https://www.eatingwell.com/saag-aloo-matar-11683697

Jerry made this while I was away and it was very good.  Looks like a lot of work! 

This cozy one-skillet recipe draws inspiration from two Indian dishes: saag aloo and aloo matar. It’s packed with plenty of vegetables, including leafy greens, potatoes and peas, all simmered in an aromatic tomato-based sauce. Saag aloo matar is perfect on its own or served with warm naan or basmati rice.

  • ½ teaspoon cumin seeds
