Ingredients

• 500 grams small potatoes
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 medium, finely chopped yellow onion
• 2 cloves, minced garlic
• 1 tablespoon, grated ginger
• 1 teaspoon turmeric
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon ground coriander
• 2 teaspoons curry powder
• 500 milliliters low-sodium vegetable broth
• 100 grams, roughly chopped fresh spinach
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 0.5 teaspoon (or to taste) salt
• 0.25 teaspoon (or to taste) black pepper
• 2 tablespoons, freshly chopped cilantro

Directions

Step 1

Begin by preparing the potatoes: wash them thoroughly and cut them into bite-sized cubes. If the potatoes have thin skin, you can leave it on for added nutrients.

Step 2

Heat the olive oil in a large non-stick pot over medium heat. Add the finely chopped onion and sauté until it turns translucent, about 5 minutes.

Step 3

Stir in the minced garlic and grated ginger, cooking for another minute until fragrant.

Step 4

Add the turmeric, ground cumin, ground coriander, and curry powder to the pot, stirring to coat the onions, garlic, and ginger. Cook the spices for 1-2 minutes to enhance their flavors.

Step 5

Pour in the low-sodium vegetable broth, and add the potato cubes. Stir everything together, ensuring the potatoes are evenly coated with the spice mixture.

Step 6

Bring the broth to a simmer. Cover the pot with a lid and reduce the heat to medium-low. Allow them to simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender but not mushy. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.

Step 7

Once the potatoes are cooked through, stir in the fresh spinach and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until wilted.

Step 8

Add the lemon juice, salt, and black pepper, adjusting the seasoning to your taste.

Step 9

Remove the pot from heat and sprinkle the freshly chopped cilantro over the top before serving.

Step 10

Serve this heart-healthy curry potato either as a hearty side dish or a light main course. Enjoy!
