Cheat's Spiced Spinach, Turmeric and Potato Pilaf

by BBC Good Food

Make this aromatic spiced spinach, turmeric and potato pilaf to warm you up on a cold winter's evening. Serve with fruity mango chutney and yoghurt.

Method

Based on 2 servings, adjust as needed.

Step 1

Bring a pan of salted water to the boil. Add the potatoes and cook for 8-10 mins. Drain and leave to steam-dry.

Step 2

Meanwhile, heat the oil in a large pan. Add the onion and a pinch of salt and fry over a low-medium heat for 15-20 mins or until golden and caramelised. Add the ginger, garlic, ground cumin, tumeric, and curry powder, and cook for 1 min. Add the spinach, a handful at a time and stir until wilted. Stir through the cooked rice and potatoes, and cook until warmed though. Season to taste, then stir through the mint and coriander.

Step 3

Serve the pilaf in bowls, scattered with the chilli, and the mango chutney and coconut yoghurt on the side.
