Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 medium sized potatoes (or equivalent canned water chestnuts)
1 lb spinach OR 1 frozen chopped spinach pack
1 tsp grated fresh ginger
1 tsp chopped fresh garlic
2 tbsps ghee or olive oil
1/2 cup plain yogurt
1 tsp cayenne pepper (or less if desired)
1 tsp garam masala powder or curry powder
Juice of 1/2 small lime
Salt to taste

Steps:

  • Preparation: Peel and wash potatoes, chop into 1 inch cubes. If using water chestnuts, drain excess water from the can and chop it into 1 inch cubes. If using fresh spinach, wash under cold running water, drain excess water and finely chop. If using frozen chopped spinach, defrost and drain excess water. Cooking: In a medium sized pan, heat oil/ghee on medium flame. Add yogurt, ginger paste, garlic paste, cayenne powder and a couple of pinches of salt. Mix well with the oil/ghee. Let it cook over medium flame for about 7 minutes, stir every minute. The oil will now start separating from the yogurt, at this time, add spinach and potatoes and mix well. Cook covered for 5 minutes and stir every minute. The spinach may turn a bit brown but that is fine. Add garam masala/ curry powder along with lime juice and mix well. Taste, if needed adjust salt. Keep covered until served. Serve hot!
