1. Blanch the spinach: Put the spinach in salted boiling water for 2 minutes and then put it in cold water.
2. Fry the diced potatoes for a 3 minutes. Keep aside.
3. In hot oil, add the cumin seeds. When it crackles, add the chopped ginger, garlic and slit chillies.
4. Saute for a bit and then add the baby onions.
5. Let it fry till the onions change colour.
6. Add the potatoes, salt, turmeric powder, cumin powder and corriander powder.
