Easy Potato And Spinach Curry Food

EASY POTATO AND SPINACH CURRY

Steps:

• 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.
• Heat over high heat until the mustard seeds have popped for a few seconds.
• Quickly stir in the garlic.
• Reduce heat to medium.
• Add the spinach (fresh or frozen) and stir-fry until tender, adding a couple Tablespoons of water if needed.
• 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.
• When everything is well blended, add the cooked potatoes and mix until the spinach mixture is evenly distributed with the potatoes.
• Turn off heat and sprinkle with lemon juice.
• Gentle stir.
• Instead of spinach, you can also make this with watercress or fenugreek (methi) leaves.

CURRIED POTATO AND SPINACH SOUP

Steps:

• Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add onion and bay leaf; cook and stir until onion is translucent, about 5 minutes. Add cumin, curry powder, turmeric, and coriander; cook, stirring frequently, until fragrant, 1 to 2 minutes. Stir potatoes, chicken broth, water, canned tomatoes, and seasoning into the pot; bring to a boil.
• Reduce heat and simmer until potatoes are mostly cooked through, about 15 minutes. Add spinach; stir well to combine. Mash some of potatoes to thicken soup. Continue cooking until potatoes are soft, about 10 minutes more.

POTATO, MUSHROOM & SPINACH CURRY

Steps:

• Heat the oil over a medium heat in a large saucepan. Add the mustard seeds and cook them until they start to pop and crackle. (TIP: Because the next step is very loud and 'hissy' you can use the lid of the saucepan to shield yourself from any hot oil spurts). Add the contents of the chopped tomatoes into the pan and stir until the hissing stops.
• Half fill the empty tomato tin with water and pour into the saucepan. Stir and cook the tomatoes for a little while. Add the garlic and ginger paste, coriander, cumin, turmeric, salt and pepper. Stir it all up and cook for about 4 or 5 minutes.
• Add the mushrooms, spinach and cooked potatoes to the saucepan. Stir well. Cook uncovered until the sauce begins to boil, then cover with the lid and reduce the heat to low simmer. Cook until the spinach has completely drooped and the mushrooms are cooked through, stirring occasionally -- about 15 - 20 minutes, sometimes more.
• Serve with hot basmati rice and, depending on your preference, top with fresh coriander leaves.

SWEET POTATO, SPINACH, AND HALLOUMI CURRY

• Meanwhile, fry halloumi in a skillet over medium heat until browned, 4 to 6 minutes. Add cooked halloumi and chickpeas to curry and heat through, about 5 minutes.
