About Saag aloo

Saag Aloo is a traditional Indian dish featuring spinach (saag) and potatoes (aloo), seasoned with a blend of spices like cumin, turmeric, and garlic. This vegetarian favorite is often served as a side or main dish alongside rice or flatbreads like naan or roti. Rich in flavor and nutrients, saag aloo is packed with vitamins A, C, and K from spinach, supporting eye health and immunity, while potatoes provide energizing carbohydrates and potassium. The dish is naturally low in fat, especially when prepared with minimal oil, though frying the potatoes or overusing creamy ingredients might increase its calorie content. With a balance of fiber from the spinach and satisfying starch from the potatoes, saag aloo is both nutritious and filling, making it an excellent addition to a wholesome diet.
