Ingredients
Ingredients
2 tsp rapeseed oil
1 onion, finely chopped
1 green pepper, finely chopped
2 large carrots, roughly chopped
1cm piece ginger, peeled and finely chopped
2 large potatoes (approx 600g), roughly chopped
1–2 fresh green chilies, deseeded and finely chopped (½ chilli = mild, 1 = medium, 2 = warm)
bunch fresh coriander, finely chopped
500g fresh spinach
500ml low-salt vegetable stock
1 tsp cumin
1 tsp ground coriander
1 tsp turmeric
1 tsp ground fenugreek
1 tsp smoked paprika
1 tsp garam masala
or, use 1 tbsp Tandoori curry powder
Method
- Add the oil to a large pan, fry the onion and pepper for 3–4 minutes, stirring regularly, until softened.
- Add the carrots and ginger then cook for five minutes, stirring regularly. Remove everything from the pan and set to one side.
- Add the potatoes to the same pan and cook for 5 minutes, stirring regularly. Return the onion, pepper, ginger and carrots to the pan.
- Add the spices and green chilli (the amount will vary according to how hot you like it!) and cook for 3 minutes until the spices start to stick.
- Add the stock and simmer for 20 minutes until thickened.
- Stir in the fresh coriander and half the spinach and cook for 3 minutes. Once the spinach has wilted, stir in the remaining spinach. Keep in the pan for a further for 1–2 minutes then serve with rice.
Chefs tips
- Try replacing the potato with sweet potato, which gives you an extra portion of veg towards your five a day.
- This is great stuffed into halved peppers (any colour) topped with a small amount of cheese and baked for 15-20 minutes at 180°C/gas 4 until golden brown on top.
- Try rolled up in a roti or chapatti with salad and a cucumber raita for a healthy wrap.
