Topic: At Long last - Restaurant Saag Bhaji a la Spice

[curryhell]

  at long last the dish i've been waiting for



Some of you may know of my quest to replicate jb's and my local's saag bhaji.  This has been on-going for  a little while with not particularly good results  . 
On a good night they are able to produce a saag which boarders on dryish to just about moist, infused with a smokey garlic and onion flavour with a spicey curry note in the background and a slight cinnamon nose.  Sounds like a fine wine  : ;D A truly fantastic dish the like of which i've never had anywhere else 
However, after  a busy day in the kitchen yesterday I finally had chance to finish my attempt tonight with no danger of spice overload.
The spinach (all 1kg of it  : )was pre-cooked using Ali's Viceroy Brasserie method.  A stroke of pure genius . The cooking method was as per Az at Zaal's - cooked hard, fast and high temp.  A touch of meethi, pinch of turmeric, half  tsp mix powder and a sprinkle of coriander.  I'm well happy to have finally achieved this.
Downside is that now i have to cook it for a confirmed saag eater who eats at the same restaurant as i do   
But i am quietly confident that this dish will pass muster 

The pan afterwards    Not as dark as that of Little India, but then again i was thrashing the saag around like a raving lunatic to avoid it sticking  ;D ;D

Will we get the recipe once the recipe has been confirmed as good ?
