Saag aloo is pretty easy.  This works for two people.

two potatoes, parboiled, diced and left to drain;
some spinach (it's hard to say how much, I just add more if it doesn't
  look like there's enough. I certainly don't bother weighing it);
an onion;
two cloves of garlic;
a little oil;
some milk;
flaked almond;
herbs/spices 

Chop the onion, and fry in a saucepan.  Add a pinch each of crushed
black pepper, chili powder, ginger powder, a somewhat more generous
helping of chopped coriander, and the crushed or *finely* chopped
garlic.  When it smells nice, add the tater and a little milk, stir well
to make sure the tater is well covered in tasty gunk.  Tear the spinach
into manageable size bits and add it.  Stir some more.  Cook on a low
heat for a few minutes, stirring occasionally to make sure everything is
covered and nothing burns.  Don't let it get too dry - add more milk if
necessary.

Serve with a little flaked almond on top.

You may also want to add some turmeric, mostly for the colour.
