Spinach And Potato Curry Recipes

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.

ROASTED POTATOES AND SPINACH

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Toss the potatoes with the butter and mustard on a baking sheet until coated; season with salt and pepper. Roast, stirring once halfway through, until the potatoes are browned and tender, about 25 minutes. Stir in the spinach and garlic and continue to roast until the spinach is wilted, 1 to 2 minutes more. Adjust the seasoning with additional salt and pepper.

SWEET POTATO CURRY WITH SPINACH AND CHICKPEAS

Steps:

• You may choose to cook the sweet potatoes however you prefer.
• I like to peel, chop and steam mine in a veggie steamer for about 15 minutes.
• Baking or boiling work well too.
• While sweet potatoes cook, heat 1-2 tsp of canola or vegetable oil over medium heat.
• Add onions and sauté 2-3 minutes, or until they begin to soften.
• Next, add the curry powder, cumin, and cinnamon, and stir to coat the onions evenly with spices.
• Add tomatoes with their juices, and the chickpeas, stir to combine.
• Add ½ cup water and raise heat up to a strong simmer for about a minute or two.
• Next, add the fresh spinach, a couple handfuls at a time, stirring to coat with cooking liquid.
• When all the spinach is added to the pan, cover and simmer until just wilted, about 3 minutes.
• Add the cooked sweet potatoes to the liquid, and stir to coat.
• Simmer for another 3-5 minutes, or until flavors are well combined.
• Transfer to serving dish, toss with fresh cilantro, and serve hot.
• This dish is nice served over basmati or brown rice.

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

Steps:

• Place sweet potatoes into a large pot and cover with water; bring to a boil. Cook until tender, about 6 minutes. Drain.
• Combine sweet potatoes, tomatoes, curry powder, chili powder, and cumin in a saucepan over medium heat and bring to a simmer. Add coconut milk, spinach, chile pepper, bouillon cube, and chili jam. Simmer until curry starts to thicken and has cooked down a little, 15 to 20 minutes.
• 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.

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.

Stir potatoes, chicken broth, water, canned tomatoes, and seasoning into the pot; bring to a boil.
