Ingredients

  • 8 –9 baby potatoes
  • 5 –6 baby carrots
  • 2 onions finely sliced
  • 1 cup spinach palak purée
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 teaspoons cumin seeds jeera
  • 1 teaspoon ginger-garlic-chilli paste
  • 1 tablespoon red chilli powder
  • 2 teaspoons lemon juice
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • A few coriander leaves chopped
  • A pinch of cardamom elaichi powder
  • Fresh cream for garnish

Instructions

  • Begin by heating the olive oil and butter together in a large pan over medium heat. Once the mixture starts to sizzle, add the cumin seeds and let them crackle for a few seconds to release their aroma.
  • Stir in the sliced onions and ginger-garlic-chilli paste. Sauté for a couple of minutes until the onions turn soft and slightly golden. Add the baby potatoes and baby carrots, stirring to coat them well in the spiced butter-oil mixture.
  • Pour in the spinach purée and let the vegetables simmer gently, allowing them to absorb the flavor and cook through. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
  • Season the dish with salt, freshly ground black pepper, and a handful of chopped coriander leaves. Stir thoroughly to combine all the elements.
  • Finish by adding a small knob of butter and a splash of fresh cream. Mix gently, then squeeze in the lemon juice to brighten the flavors.
  • Before serving, garnish with an extra swirl of cream, a sprinkle of red chilli powder, a touch of cardamom powder, and a few coriander leaves. Serve hot as a flavorful side or light vegetarian main.
