Indian Style Potato and Spinach



This is a really simple and tasty dish and makes a great side. Its cooked with spices and has a nice kick to it. We have recently planted our spring garden and have so far added - lettuce, spinach, Swiss chard, peas and beans its an exciting time of year with the glorious fresh green leaves and rain showers. 

We had a wonderful time planting the plants with the kids at my daughters elementary school on earth day. One little girl said that " I love this class" its truly wonderful getting kids involved in gardening especially with vegetables and fruits its a gift. Gardening and simply being in nature allows us to soak up its beauty and inspire us to look after it. 




Ingredients:

  • 5 small potatoes boiled and chopped into small pieces
  • 1/2 an onion chopped
  • 3 cloves of chopped garlic
  • a pinch of mustard seeds and a pinch of cumin seeds
  • salt to taste 
  • a bunch of spinach 
  • 1/4 teaspoon of curry powder
Method:
  1. cook the potatoes and keep to one side
  2. heat a little oil and pop the mustard seeds with the cumin, add the onions and garlic and saute until a little brown
  3. add the potatoes and spinach, a little at a time using a lid to let it reduce down
  4. mix in the salt and curry powder sampling to get the taste and heat to your level.
  5. Serve with dal and rice or chapatti 




Have a lovely weekend everyone
