1
Defrost the spinach and drain well. Squeeze it to get rid of as much moisture as possible.
2
Meanwhile, boil the cubed potatoes until they are almost cooked through (but not falling apart). Drain well.
3
Heat the oil in a large pan or wok and, when hot, add the potatoes and all the spices, stirring to coat everything.
4
When the potatoes have started to crisp up slightly, add the garlic and tomatoes and stir for a few more seconds, then add the spinach.
5
If using fresh spinach, you want it to be just wilted, or with frozen, warmed through. Taste and adjust seasoning as required then serve immediately.
