Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Vegetables

    Peel and dice the potatoes into small cubes. Rinse the spinach thoroughly and chop it coarsely. Finely chop the onion and tomatoes.

Cooking

  1. 2

    Cook the Base

    In a large pot, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the cumin seeds and let them sizzle for a few seconds.

  2. 3

    Sauté the Onions

    Add the chopped onions to the pot and sauté until they turn golden brown.

  3. 4

    Add Tomatoes and Spices

    Add the chopped tomatoes, turmeric powder, red chili powder, and salt. Cook until the tomatoes soften and the oil begins to separate from the mixture.

  4. 5

    Add Potatoes

    Stir in the diced potatoes and cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally.

  5. 6

    Add Water

    Pour in the water and bring the mixture to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat, cover, and let cook until the potatoes are tender, about 15 minutes.

  6. 7

    Add Spinach

    Once the potatoes are cooked, add the chopped spinach and garam masala. Stir well and cook for another 5 minutes, allowing the spinach to wilt.

  7. 8

    Serve

    Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Serve hot with roti or rice.
