Indian potato and curry dish. Probably best served as a starter or side dish.
Serves 2
Ingredients
1 large onion
2 large potatoes
300 grams of fresh spinach
1 tablespoon of grated ginger
2 cloves of garlic
250ml of low fat natural yoghurt
1/4 tablespoon of cumin seeds
1/2 tablespoon of tumeric
1/2 tablespoon of garam masala or curry powder
1/4 tablespoon of chilli powder
1 tablespoon of oil
Instructions
Put a pan of water on to boil
Peel and chop the potatoes into 1/2 inch cubes
Add some tumeric to the water and cook the potatoes for 10 minutes or so until 90% cooked then rinse and set aside
While the potatoes are cooking, coarsely chop the onion
Coarsely chop the garlic
Grate (or finely chop) the ginger
Chop the spinach into strips and try to remove any big stems you can (without obsessing over getting them all)
Measure out the spices and set aside
Heat a tablespoon or so of oil in a wok or high sided pan (4)
Fry the cumin seeds in the oil for a minute or so until they start to go brownish
Throw the onions in and fry them until they start to become translucent (3 or 4 minutes)
Now add the spices, chilli, garlic and ginger and fry them for a minute or so
Add the potatoes (first) and the yoghurt and heat for a minute
Now add the spinach a few handfuls at a time and stir as it disintegrates
If the spinach seems to have absorbed all of the 'sauce' chuck a little bit more yoghurt in (and perhaps a couple of tablespoons of water) and keep on heating.
Serve!
