Heidi – Thank you!

Johanna – You were right. It worked a treat!

Patricia – I add more spinach than most recipes call for. Love the stuff!

Rose – Don’t live with D so am used to being alone at night sometimes. Do get freaked out occasionally though!

Deb – Thanks! As Christina said, ghee is clarified butter (which you can make yourself pretty easily).

Betty Jo – Thank you!

Christina – Love the pops too.

Nora – Thanks! Understand what you mean about your childhood phobia of ghee. Have a similar relationship to cider which goes back to my teenage years!

Hi Wendy, have a fantastic trip! Sounds like you have lots of wonderful things to do while you are there.

This dish looks delicious. I love Saag Aloo too, and I use butter because I just can’t bring myself to use ghee… it’s a childhood phobia. I got sick once eating Indian briyani rice that had ghee in it and until now, I associated the smell and taste of ghee to that bad experience.

Yummy! One of my favorite steps in this sort of dish is frying until the mustard seeds start to pop. I don’t know why, but I love the “automatic timer” quality of it, and of course, the smell is divine.

A note for Deb: ghee is clarified butter. You can make it yourself or find it in Indian grocery stores and sometimes even in high-end stores like Whole Foods.

Have a super weekend !! Tell me about ghee. What would you compare it to for us in the States.

Hello Wendy,
I am sure this kind of dish will comfort any kind of loneliness. How do you do sleeping alone? I know I will have to check doors and windows and under the beds every 30min. I am such a baby sometimes.
Have fun in Edinburgh.

Edinburgh has some fantastic pubs, galleries and views so you seem headed the right place to distract you from your blues – hope curry and a pint and a blether will cheer you up!

Have fun!
