Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 medium potatoes
- 300 grams fresh spinach
- 1 medium onion
- 2 medium tomatoes
- 1 inch ginger
- 3 garlic cloves
- 1 green chili
- 1 teaspoon cumin seeds
- 0.5 teaspoon turmeric powder
- 1 teaspoon coriander powder
- 0.5 teaspoon red chili powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons cooking oil
- 500 milliliters water
Instructions
Peel the potatoes and cut them into small cubes. Set aside.
Wash the spinach thoroughly under running water and chop coarsely.
Finely chop the onion, tomatoes, ginger, garlic, and green chili.
Heat oil in a large pan over medium heat.
Add the cumin seeds to the pan and sauté for a minute until aromatic.
Add the chopped onion and sauté until they turn golden brown.
Add the chopped ginger, garlic, and green chili. Sauté for another 2 minutes.
Stir in the chopped tomatoes, turmeric powder, coriander powder, red chili powder, and salt. Cook until the tomatoes become soft and the oil starts to separate.
Add the potato cubes and toss to coat them with the spice mixture.
Pour in the water, cover the pan with a lid, and cook for about 10-15 minutes or until the potatoes are tender.
Once the potatoes are cooked, add the chopped spinach. Stir well to combine with the potatoes.
Cook uncovered for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the spinach is wilted and integrated with the potatoes.
Adjust salt to taste and remove from heat. Serve hot with rice or as a side dish with roti.
