These took me to a little Pakistani curry shop, where I found a potato and spinach curry I could easily eat every day for the rest of my life. The potatoes were salty and fudgy, much like in a Spanish tortilla, and the spinach was an oily emerald tangle, having given up all hope of freshness. It wasn’t innovative, but it hit the spot so perfectly, I nearly shouted, “Bingo!”
PAKISTANI-STYLE POTATO & SPINACH CURRY — frozen spinach is roughly a quarter of the cost of fresh, and it works brilliantly in curries. If you don’t have the spices to hand, buy small quantities of respected brands such as Fudco or Jalpur Millers from an Asian grocery or online. You’ll need a large saucepan with a lid to make this. Best eaten with basmati rice.
