- Simmer the potatoes for 10 mins or until tender. Drain and leave to steam-dry.
- Meanwhile, heat the oil in a large, lidded pan over a medium-low heat. Add the cumin seeds and mustard seeds and fry for 1 min or until they start to sizzle. Add the onion; cover and cook for 10-15 mins until soft. Add the garlic, ginger, tomato purée, the remaining spices and 1 tbsp water. Cook, uncovered, over a low heat for 5-10 mins until softened. Add the potatoes and stir to coat.
- Add a large handful of the spinach and 100ml boiling water; cover and cook for 2 mins or until the spinach wilts. Add the remaining spinach. Scatter with chopped chilli to serve, if you like.
