Ingredients

  • 2 cloves of garlic, with their skins gently removed
  • A segment of fresh ginger, about half an inch in length
  • Divide and use 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil, or more if desired
  • Finely chop a single onion to sauté
  • A spoon each of ground cumin and ground coriander
  • A pinch of cayenne pepper for a hint of heat
  • Add a dash of ground turmeric for color
  • Peel and chop two potatoes into bite-sized pieces
  • Dice two ripe roma tomatoes for a burst of freshness
  • Prepare two bunches of freshly harvested spinach, roughly chopped
  • Season with salt to your liking

Step 1

Begin by blending the aromatic garlic and ginger until they form a fragrant paste brimming with flavor. In a pot, heat a generous tablespoon of oil over medium-high heat, letting it sizzle with anticipation. Watch as the humble onion dances in the oil, gradually turning translucent over the course of 5 to 7 minutes. Embrace the symphony of spices - cumin, coriander, cayenne, and turmeric - as they join the pan, infusing the air with their rich essence. Introduce the ginger-garlic paste to the mix, stirring with care to ensure each ingredient is coated in this aromatic blend.

Step 2

As the concoction simmers, add a touch more oil, along with the hearty potatoes and juicy tomatoes, allowing them to meld together until the oil gently caresses the sides of the pan in a tantalizing display. Just when you think the magic is complete, toss in the vibrant spinach and a pinch of salt, letting them mingle with the rest of the ingredients. Continue to cook over a medium flame, tending to the pot with patience as the potatoes tenderize and the flavors meld, creating a harmony that sings of comfort and satisfaction.

Step 3

After about 20 minutes of simmering, when the potatoes yield effortlessly to a fork, your culinary masterpiece is ready to be savored. Serve this dish with pride, knowing that each bite is a testament to the artistry of flavors that unfolded in your kitchen.

Extra Tips & Suggestions

  1. 1. Keep your potatoes in a cool, dark place to prevent sprouting and maintain their freshness.
  2. 2. Store your spinach in airtight containers with a paper towel to absorb excess moisture and keep the leaves crisp.
  3. 3. To make meal prep easier, chop and store your onions and garlic in the fridge in airtight containers.
