Saag Aloo

A variation on the theme of this classic dish based on what spices I had in stock (when did Safeways close BTW?).

Add 1 tablespoon of oil into a largish heavy pan, add ½ teaspoon hot chilli powder, 1 teaspoon each of cumin seeds, coriander seeds, turmeric and ground ginger, 2 teaspoons each of garum masala and chopped red chillies, and 3 cloves of garlic. Gently heat, stirring occasionally to prevent catching, until strong smells emanate form the pan and the contents are forming a paste. One at a time introduce 150g chopped mushrooms, 2 chopped medium tomatoes, a bag of fresh leaf spinach cooking each one down then add 2 large tins of new potatoes in water drained, with the larger ones chopped in half. Pour in half a pint of water and gently simmer for 10-15 minutes.
