Servings: persons

1 large onion, chopped
2 large potatoes, cubed
400 g spinach or 400 g chard leaves, stalks removed, roughly chopped
1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
1/2 teaspoon garlic clove, coarsley chopped
1/4 teaspoon cumin seed
1 teaspoon turmeric
1 teaspoon garam masala
olive oil
butter
salt

1
Fry the cumin seeds in a heavy bottomed pan in a bit of oil and butter until just starting to brown.
2
Add the onion and fry until it too starts to brown.
3
Add the potato, garlic, turmeric, ginger and garam masala and fry until the potato starts to soften.
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
Add the spinach or chard and cook until it collapses over the potato.
6
Salt to taste.
