Spinach and Potato Curry


I found this recipe from one of my favorite cookbooks - Best Ever Indian Cookbook. When it comes to spinach I was either eating it raw in salads or as a mashed kuzhambu (with or without dhal). I was really in search of some other alternate form of making spinach, when I came across this recipe and liked it. Pretty simple and I don't think I can share the recipe online considering that it is taken from a book and all those copyright issues. So, just for my own reminder this is on Pg 318 of the book :). Something to remember: since we are adding the potatoes without boiling, we either need to be patient till it gets cooked well or microwave it for 2-3 mins before adding so that it gets cooked well. One thing that I didn't like though, was the recipe asks to blanch spinach in boiling water and then completely drain the water from spinach by squeezing it. Since I want to retain those nutrients I am thinking of making spinach rasam next time using this water. Not sure how that experiment will turn out. God save me! :)
