- Wash and chop the spinach, set aside. Peel, wash, and cut the potato into 1-inch pieces. Set aside.
- Heat the oil in a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the cumin seeds and fry for a few seconds until the cumin seeds are golden brown. Add the potatoes, coat with the oil in the pan, and reduce the heat. Cook for 3-4 minutes, until lightly brown.
- Add the spinach to the pan with the potatoes, and sprinkle with the salt, turmeric, coriander, and cayenne pepper (if using). Stir to mix.
- Cover the pan with a lid and heat through. Reduce the heat, and simmer for 12–15 minutes, until potatoes are tender to the touch. Stir once or twice as it cooks.
- If there is any excess liquid accumulated, increase heat to evaporate it. Transfer to a serving dish.
