Potato spinach and chickpea curry recipe!


This is a family dish that I grew up eating a lot of. I made it at work the other day and everyone loved it!
Thanks to my auntie for the recipe, this is very authentic home cooking at its best - Pakistani style.
I've adapted the recipe by changing the quantities so you can try it for yourself at home. Great for fighting off a cold.

Ingredients
2 Onions
1/2 thumb sized Ginger
2 Garlic clove
1/2 tsp Turmeric
1 tsp Cumin
1 tsp Coriander
1/2 tsp Chilli
Few Potatoes - cubed
Bag Spinach
1 Tin Chickpea

Method

  1. Chop onions and place in a hot pan of oil (not olive), season with salt.
  2. Whilst the onion is browning chop your garlic and ginger, once your onions are golden, add to pan.
  3. Toast your cumin and coriander then crush together with chilli and turmeric, add to pan.
  4. Cook for 5 or so minutes longer than add the potato, turning occasionally.
  5. Finally when potato is soft, add your spinach and chickpeas.
  6. Check the seasoning and serve! Enjoy
