TIPS
- In this style of cooking, you want to cook the onion for longer than normal, so it begins to break down. The liquid it releases will also help cook the potatoes.
- Adding salt to the potatoes early allows them to absorb the seasoning into them.
Instructions
1
Dice the onion.
Peel and mince the garlic.
Peel and dice the potatoes into 2 cm cubes.
Grate the cucumber into a sieve. Add a pinch of salt, toss and leave to release water.
2
In a large fry pan on medium heat, fry the Bombay five spice mix for 15 seconds in hot oil. Add the onion, a pinch of salt and cook for 4 minutes, stirring regularly until the onions are translucent. Add the garlic, and cook for another minute before adding the turmeric.
3
Add the potatoes and another good pinch of salt. Lower the heat a little and give a good stir, scraping anything stuck on the bottom. Cover and cook for 15 minutes. Stirring regularly.
Wash and chop the spinach leaves.
4
Add the greens and give it a good mix. If it is sticking to the bottom, add a few splashes of water, but not too much. Add the peas to the pot.
Cook covered for another 5 minutes until the potatoes are fully cooked.
5
Finely chop the coriander. Combine with the coconut yoghurt and add a pinch of salt.
Press out remaining moisture from cucumber then add to youghurt.
6
Warm the flat breads in a fry pan with a little oil or in the microwave.
Taste one of the potatoes and add another pinch of salt, if needed.
7
Serve the flat breads on the side of the Bombay potatoes, topped with achar and yoghurt.
