Spinach and Potatoes

STEP 1
Boil the potatoes unpeeled and washed until knife tender. Once cool, peel and cut into small cubes.

STEP 2
Heat the oil in a heavy bottom wok shaped pan over medium heat for 30 seconds. Add the bay leaves, cinnamon stick, cloves, cardamom, and cumin seeds. Wait until they sizzle and you smell them.

STEP 3
Add the ginger and garlic paste. Cook for a few minutes until caramelized. Add the onion and cook until caramelized. Now add the tomato puree and cook for 2 minutes.

STEP 4
Add the cooked potatoes and stir together, and add the spinach leaves and the salt, cayenne, turmeric, and ground coriander. Cover and cook on low heat for 10-15 minutes. If the bottom of the pan starts sticking, add a tablespoon of water and scrape the bottom. Cover and cook on low heat till everything is incorporated. Adjust the salt to taste. Serve with rice or naan bread.
