Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ingredients

    Peel and cube the potatoes into small pieces. Chop the tomatoes, onion, garlic, and ginger finely. Rinse the spinach thoroughly and roughly chop it.

Cooking

  1. 2

    Sauté the Aromatics

    In a large pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Add cumin seeds and let them sizzle for a few seconds. Add the chopped onion, garlic, and ginger. Sauté until the onion becomes translucent.

  2. 3

    Cook the Tomatoes

    Add the chopped tomatoes to the pan. Cook until the tomatoes soften and release their juices.

  3. 4

    Add the Potatoes and Spices

    Stir in the cubed potatoes, turmeric powder, red chili powder, salt, and cinnamon powder. Mix well to coat the potatoes with the spices.

  4. 5

    Simmer

    Cover the pan and allow the potatoes to cook for about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are tender and cooked through.

  5. 6

    Add Spinach and Cream

    Once the potatoes are cooked, add the chopped spinach and light cream to the pan. Stir gently to combine everything. Let it cook for another 5 minutes.

  6. 7

    Finish with Garam Masala

    Sprinkle garam masala over the dish, stir, and cook for an additional minute before removing from heat.
