Method

Prep time: 15 mins Cook time: 25 mins

Parboil the potatoes for 10 minutes, drain and set aside .

In a heavy bottomed pan, fry the cumin seeds in some oil and butter until just starting to brown. Add the onion and fry for a further minute or so, until it also starts to colour. Add the par boiled potatoes, garlic, turmeric, ginger and garam masala and fry until the potato starts to soften.

If you are not using a non-stick pan, you may need to add a little drop of water and cover to keep the potato from sticking and to help them to finish cooking. They should take about 10 minutes.

Add the spinach and cook until it collapses, then season to taste.

Serve alongside an authentic Indian curry, rice and gluten and wheat free naan bread (recipe can be found under our ‘Sides and Snacks Recipes’ section).
