Spicy spinach potato gravy










This looks bland, but it is very spicy. It goes well with flat bread or steamed rice.

Ingredients:
Spinach - 1 bunch
Potatoes -100gms
Curry powder/garam masala -3tsps
Chopped onions - 2cup
cumin seeds -1tsp
Garlic paste -1tsp
Green chillies -2(finely chopped)
Chopped coriander leaves -2tsps
Salt and oil -As required

Method:
Boil the potatoes with the jacket. Peel and mashed it. Set it aside. Wash and chop the spinach finely. In a frying pan, fry the cumin seeds in little oil. Then add the onions. Fry for few seconds. Next add the garlic paste, green chillies and curry powder.  Sauté for few seconds. Add the chopped spinach, salt and two cups of water. Close and cook till done. Finely, add the mashed potatoes and coriander leaves. Simmer for a while till it reaches the consistency of gravy.

Note: Since sour ingredients like tomatoes, lemon or tamarind are not added, two teaspoons of yoghurt can be added in the end or before serving to reduce its pungency.
