Instructions

  1. Peel the potatoes and cut them into 2 cm cubes. Boil them for 8 minutes to partly cook them, then drain.
  2. Blanch the spinach for 2 minutes in boiling water, drain and blend into a purée.
  3. Heat the oil, toast the cumin seeds for 30 seconds, then add the sliced onion and fry until golden, 6 minutes.
  4. Add the crushed garlic, the turmeric and the chilli, then the diced tomato. Cook for 3 minutes.
  5. Add the potatoes to the pan and stir-fry for 3 minutes so they absorb the spices.
  6. Pour in the spinach purée, season with salt, cover and simmer for 12 minutes over low heat, stirring from time to time.
  7. Sprinkle with garam masala and serve hot.

Variations and tips

Fresh spinach version. For a brighter taste, add raw chopped spinach at the end of cooking instead of the purée.
