This may not be the prettiest dish, but anything looks better than the chickpea curry I posted earlier this year. With fresh spinach, tomatoes, and potatoes it is hard to stop eating and leave room for other dishes. The combination of spices is perfect.
I used my beloved cast iron skillet for searing the potatoes. It does a much better job dispersing and retaining heat than a non stick skillet. If you don’t have a cast iron consider adding one to your Christmas list. I make everything from cornbread to cookies in mine and they are perfect for going from stovetop to oven.
