  1. 1

    Steam or boil the potatoes in salted water until very tender. Drain and set aside. In a large dutch oven put the oil, mustard seeds, and cumin seeds.

  2. 2

    Heat over high heat until the mustard seeds have popped for a few seconds. Quickly stir in the garlic.

  3. 3

    Reduce heat to medium. Add the spinach (fresh or frozen) and stir-fry until tender, adding a couple Tablespoons of water if needed.

  4. 4

    If the spinach is still half frozen, that doesn't matter, just add it anyway. Once the spinach is cooked, stir in the turmeric, cayenne, salt, curry powder and garam masala.

  5. 5

    When everything is well blended, add the cooked potatoes and mix until the spinach mixture is evenly distributed with the potatoes.

  6. 6

    Turn off heat and sprinkle with lemon juice. Gentle stir. Instead of spinach, you can also make this with watercress or fenugreek (methi) leaves.
