Ingredients

• 500 grams Baby potatoes
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 large Yellow onion, finely chopped
• 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
• 1 tablespoon Fresh ginger, grated
• 1 teaspoon Ground turmeric
• 2 teaspoons Ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon Ground coriander
• 1 teaspoon Garam masala
• 0.5 teaspoon Red chili powder
• 2 cups Low-sodium vegetable broth
• 1 cup Tomato puree
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 cups Fresh spinach, chopped
• 0.25 cup Fresh cilantro, chopped
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice

Directions

Step 1

Begin by washing and halving the baby potatoes. If they are quite large, quarter them for bite-sized pieces.

Step 2

Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large, deep skillet or pot over medium heat. Add the finely chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes.

Step 3

Add the minced garlic and grated ginger to the onions and sauté for another 2 minutes until fragrant.

Step 4

Stir in the ground turmeric, ground cumin, ground coriander, garam masala, and red chili powder. Cook the spices with the aromatics for 1-2 minutes to release their flavors.

Step 5

Add the halved potatoes to the skillet, stirring to coat them thoroughly with the spice mixture.

Step 6

Pour in the low-sodium vegetable broth and tomato puree. Stir well to combine all ingredients. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil.

Step 7

Reduce the heat to low and cover the skillet. Let it simmer for about 20 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and cooked through.

Step 8

Add salt and black pepper to taste, adjusting if desired.

Step 9

Stir in the fresh spinach and allow it to wilt into the curry, cooking for an additional 2-3 minutes.

Step 10

Remove from heat and sprinkle with freshly chopped cilantro and a tablespoon of lemon juice before serving.

Step 11

Serve the heart-healthy potato curry warm, alongside whole grain rice or quinoa for a complete meal.
