Cooking

Instructions

  1. 1
    Peel and dice the potatoes into evenly sized cubes, then parboil them for 8 minutes until just beginning to soften.
  2. 2
    Heat oil in a large frying pan and cook the chopped onion over medium heat for 6–8 minutes until soft and golden.
  3. 3
    Add garlic and ginger and cook for another minute until fragrant.
  4. 4
    Stir in cumin, turmeric and chilli flakes and toast the spices gently in the oil.
  5. 5
    Add the drained potatoes and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally until lightly golden around the edges.
  6. 6
    Gradually add the spinach in batches, stirring until wilted and fully incorporated into the dish.
  7. 7
    Cook everything together for another 5–7 minutes so the potatoes absorb the flavours.
  8. 8
    Taste and adjust seasoning before serving with naan or rice.
