A recipe that came with my weekly vegetable delivery. I am reposting it here as it was first printed, but I prefer to parboil the potatoes before adding them to the curry. Great with rice and dahl. I often serve it with a paneer curry.

SERVES 4 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

Directions

  1. 1
    Fry the cumin seeds in a heavy bottomed pan in a bit of oil and butter until just starting to brown.
  2. 2
    Add the onion and fry until it too starts to brown.
  3. 3
    Add the potato, garlic, turmeric, ginger and garam masala and fry until the potato starts to soften.
  4. 4
    Unless you are using a non-stick pan, you may need to add water and cover to keep the potato from sticking and to help it cook. The first time I did this 1/2 cup at a time and it took about 20-30 minutes but I now prefer to parboil the potatoes, which means you add less water and it only takes about 10 minutes to finish off from this point.
  5. 5
    Add the spinach or chard and cook until it collapses over the potato.
  6. 6
    Salt to taste.

Great recipe. I found I had to double the spices and add curry powder to get it to my taste. I added in about 6 tablespoons of yogurt when it had about 5 mins of cooking time left. Also added in fresh corriander at the end. Thanks for the recipe!

    I'm not much of a cook and I've never tried chard before, but this came out good. I had a hard time finding garam masala in the store, but I looked it up on wikipedia and found out it's just a mix of spices, so I made it myself. Actually, it might deserve 5 stars... I really liked it in the beginning... but I ate the whole thing myself and kind of got sick of it by the end. Great for vegans! I made it with all organic ingredients. A great way to incorporate green leafy veggies into your diet!

    I had some spinach I needed to use up so figured I'd give this recipe a try. Absolutely delicious - the natural flavors of the potato and spinach play off well against each other as well as the subtle spice combination. It's really nice when you have one of the cumin seeds that just bursts that flavor across your tastebuds. Since I use a non-stick pan I used as little oil as possible. The only drawback was that it turned out I needed more spinach (!) but with better planning I can see this making a place for itself in my regular cooking rotation. Highly recommended.
