Method
- Parboil the potatoes in salted boiling water for 8-10 minutes until just tender. Drain, then prick with a fork to roughen the edges.
- Heat the oil in a large sauté pan over a medium heat. Add the onion and a pinch of salt, then cook for 15 minutes, stirring, until golden. Add the garlic and spices, then cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Add the butter and potatoes, then stir to coat. Cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally so the spices don’t catch and burn.
- Spoon the yogurt into a bowl, add the ginger, then season. Stir into the pan with a splash of water and heat gently for 5 minutes until the potatoes are tender and the sauce
- is thickened. Season to taste.
- Put the spinach in a colander and pour freshly boiled water over it, then refresh under cold water and squeeze dry. Stir through the curry.
- Scatter with the mint and chilli, then serve with lemon wedges.
