Ingredients: 3 medium potatoes, peeled and diced; 1 onion, finely chopped; 2 cloves of garlic, minced; 1-inch piece of ginger, grated; 2 green chilies, finely chopped; 1 tsp cumin seeds; 1 tsp turmeric powder; 1 tsp coriander powder; 1 tsp garam masala; 1/2 tsp red chili powder (adjust to taste); Salt to taste; 2 tbsp oil; 1 lb fresh spinach, washed and chopped; 1/2 cup water; Fresh coriander leaves for garnish; Lemon wedges for serving

Instructions

Heat oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add cumin seeds and let them splutter.
Add the chopped onion and sauté until it turns golden brown, about 5-6 minutes.
Stir in the minced garlic, grated ginger, and green chilies. Cook for another 2 minutes until fragrant.
Add turmeric powder, coriander powder, garam masala, red chili powder, and salt. Mix well and cook for a minute to allow the spices to bloom.
Add the diced potatoes and coat them evenly with the spice mixture. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes start to soften.
Pour in the water and bring it to a gentle simmer. Cover the pan and let the potatoes cook until tender, about 10-15 minutes.
Once the potatoes are cooked, add the chopped spinach to the pan. Mix well and cook until the spinach wilts and reduces in volume.
Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed. If you prefer a creamier texture, you can use an immersion blender to partially blend the mixture.
Garnish with fresh coriander leaves and serve hot with a squeeze of fresh lemon juice on top.
