Mod de preparare

Pas cu pas

1. 1

   Boil the potatoes in a pot of salted water for about 10-12 minutes, or until just tender but still firm. Drain and set aside.

   Aproximativ 12 min.

   Nota bucătarului: Do not overcook the potatoes, as they will continue to cook with the spinach.

2. 2

   Heat the vegetable oil in a large pan or pot over medium heat.

   Aproximativ 1 min.

3. 3

   Add the mustard seeds and cumin seeds. Cook until they splutter, about 30 seconds.

   Aproximativ 1 min.

   Nota bucătarului: Be careful not to burn the seeds, as this will make them bitter.

4. 4

   Add the yellow onion and cook until softened and translucent, about 5-7 minutes.

   Aproximativ 6 min.

5. 5

   Stir in the ginger, garlic, and green chili. Cook for another minute until fragrant.

   Aproximativ 1 min.

6. 6

   Add the turmeric powder, coriander powder, garam masala, and salt. Sauté for 30 seconds, stirring constantly.

   Aproximativ 1 min.

   Nota bucătarului: Add a splash of water if the spices start to stick to the pan.

7. 7

   Add the water to the pan and bring it to a simmer, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom.

   Aproximativ 2 min.

8. 8

   Stir in the pre-cooked potatoes.

9. 9

   Add the fresh spinach in batches, allowing each batch to wilt before adding the next. Cook until all the spinach has wilted and a bright green color.

   Aproximativ 4 min.

   Nota bucătarului: The spinach will reduce significantly in volume as it cooks.

10. 10

    Continue to cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the flavors have melded and the potatoes are heated through.

    Aproximativ 3 min.

11. 11

    Garnish with fresh coriander before serving.
