Steps:

• Bring 2 1/2 qts water to a boil. Peel potatoes and cut into 3/4 inch cubes, then add to boiling water with 1 T salt.
• Bring to a boil again. Cover, turn heat to low and cook potatoes till just tender, about 6 minutes. Do not overcook.
• Drain, spread out and leave to cool (I just left mine in the colander rather than spread and it was fine).
• If using fresh spinach, wash and drop into large kettle of boiling water to wilt.
• Drain and squeeze out as much liquid as you can and chop fine. (if using frozen, cook according to package directions, drain and squeeze out liquid) Set spinach aside.

• When very hot, put in mustard seeds. As soon as the seeds begin to pop (a few seconds), add the onion and garlic.
• Turn heat to medium and fry for 3-4 minutes. Onions should turn very lightly brown on the edges.
• Put chopped spinach in skillet and keep stirring and frying for about 10 minutes.
• Add the cooked potatoes, garam masala and cayenne pepper and chickpeas (if desired). Stir and mix gently till potatoes are heated through. (Add a dash of salt if needed.).
