Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 lbs baby potatoes
- 2 tbsp ghee or clarified butter
- 1 yellow onion, finely diced
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tbsp ginger, grated
- 1 tsp ground cumin
- 1 tsp ground coriander
- 0.5 tsp turmeric powder
- 0.5 tsp smoked paprika
- 0.25 tsp chili flakes (optional)
- 1 tsp salt
- 0.5 tsp black pepper
- 2 tomatoes, finely chopped
- 2 cups spinach, roughly chopped
- 0.25 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 0.25 cup water
Instructions
Wash and scrub the baby potatoes, leaving the skins on. Cut them into halves or quarters, depending on their size, to ensure even cooking.
Heat a large skillet or heavy-bottomed pan over medium heat. Add the ghee and let it melt, coating the pan.
Add the diced onion to the pan and sauté for 3-4 minutes until soft and translucent.
Stir in the garlic and ginger, cooking for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Sprinkle in the cumin, coriander, turmeric, smoked paprika, and chili flakes (if using). Stir for 1 minute to toast the spices.
Add the chopped tomatoes and cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they break down into a saucy consistency.
Stir in the potatoes, ensuring they are well coated with the spice mixture.
Season with salt and black pepper, then pour in the water. Cover the pan with a lid and let the potatoes simmer over medium-low heat for 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally, until tender.
Once the potatoes are cooked through, fold in the chopped spinach and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until wilted.
Remove the pan from heat. Stir in the freshly chopped cilantro and lemon juice for a burst of freshness.
Serve hot as a main dish or a flavorful side. Enjoy your Crazy Sherpa Potatoes!
