Ingredients

  • 300 g new potatoes, scrubbed
  • low fat cooking oil
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 1 garlic clove, crushed
  • 1 teaspoon ginger puree (optional)
  • 2 teaspoons curry powder
  • 4 tablespoons chickpeas, canned, drained
  • 2 teaspoons plain flour
  • 150 g low-fat yogurt
  • 200 g Baby Spinach
  • salt & freshly ground black pepper

Method

  • Cook the potatoes in lightly salted, boiling water for about 12 minutes, until just tender.
  • Drain, cool and cut them in thick, even slices.
  • Meanwhile, heat a medium sized saucepan and spray it with low fat cooking spray.
  • Add the onion, garlic, ginger puree (if using) and 4 tablespoons of water and cook until the mixture sizzles, and then cover and reduce the heat.
  • Cook for 5 minutes until the onion has softened.
  • Add the curry powder, to taste, the sliced potatoes and chick peas to the pan.
  • Cook for 1 minute.
  • Stir the flour into the yoghurt and add this to the pan.
  • Heat gently until the sauce thickens.
  • Now, gradually stir in the spinach leaves, until they have all wilted and are thoroughly mixed inches There is no need to precook the spinach, as the leaves are so tender.
  • Check the seasoning and serve the curry piping hot in two shallow bowls.
