INGREDIENTS
4 potatoes

3-4 garlic cloves
50g spinach
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon coriander seeds
2 small dried red chili peppers
1/2 teaspoon turmeric
1/2 teaspoon paprika powder
1/2 teaspoon coriander powder
1/2 teaspoon cumin
1/2 teaspoon curry powder
150ml water
Salt to taste
METHOD
1. Prepare the Ingredients:
Start by washing, peeling, and cutting the potatoes into cubes. Peel and thinly slice the garlic cloves. Halve the cherry tomatoes, and wash and dry the spinach, ensuring all ingredients are prepped and ready for cooking.
2. Infuse the Oil:
In a pan over medium heat, heat the olive oil. Add the coriander seeds and crushed red chili peppers, frying them briefly while stirring to release their aromatic flavours.
3. Sauté the Aromatics:
Add the sliced garlic to the pan and continue frying until it begins to turn golden brown, infusing the oil with its savoury essence.
4. Add the Spices:
To the pan, add the turmeric, paprika powder, coriander powder, cumin, and curry powder, mixing well to create a fragrant spice blend that will form the foundation of our curry.
5. Cook the Potatoes:
Add the cubed potatoes to the pan, stirring to coat them evenly in the aromatic spice mixture. Allow them to stir-fry for approximately 3 minutes, allowing the flavours to penetrate the potatoes.
6. Incorporate Tomatoes:
Next, add the halved cherry tomatoes to the pan, continuing to stir-fry for an additional 2 minutes until they begin to soften and release their juices.
7. Simmer and Cook:
Pour in the water, mixing everything together before covering the pan with a lid. Reduce the heat to medium-low and allow the curry to simmer gently for about 15 minutes or until the potatoes are tender and cooked through.
8. Add Spinach and Season:
Once the potatoes are ready, add the spinach to the pan, cooking until it wilts and combines with the flavourful curry. Finally, season the dish with salt to taste, adjusting as needed to achieve the perfect balance of flavours.
