Method

  1. 1 Boil the potatoes for 12 minutes until just cooked, then cut them into 2 cm cubes.
  2. 2 Blanch the spinach for 40 seconds, then squeeze out the excess water and chop coarsely; blanching quickly preserves its green color without releasing too much water and making the dish soggy.
  3. 3 Sauté cumin seeds, garlic slices, and dried chilies in oil for 40 seconds.
  4. 4 Sauté the potatoes for 5 minutes until golden brown, then sprinkle with turmeric powder and salt.
  5. 5 Add the vegetables to the pan and cook over high heat for 2 minutes, then squeeze in some lemon juice. The dish should be dry, without any sauce.
