I love making this dish, it's so easy and flavorful. It can be made in very little time. And a good way of using boiled potatoes. Delicious potato spinach dish served with chapati or pharata, makes a perfect vegetarian side dish.

Steps

20 minutes

1

Wash, peel and cut the potatoes in cubes. If using new potatoes you may leave the skin on if you prefer.
2

Place the cubes potatoes in a microwave steamer, add a little salt, sprinkle with some water and steam in the microwave for 4-5 minutes. (Alternatively you may par boil the potatoes in water)
3

Heat oil in a large non-stick pan over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and fry, add curry leaves, cumin seeds and cook all for 1 minute.
4

Add the turmeric powder, stir fry taking care not to burn the spices. At this point if the spice mixture is too dry add a little water to create a steam.
5

Add the potatoes, shake the pan and slowly fry the potatoes for about 10 minutes. Stirring occasionally until evenly cooked.
6

By tossing the potatoes instead of constantly stirring will help the potatoes keep their shape and not get mushy.
7

Now add the spinach stir all. Leave to cook together for another few minutes.
8

Taste for seasoning and adjust as necessary.

Remove from the heat, sprinkle with garam masala. Drizzle some ghee and freshly chopped coriander.
