GROUND CHICKEN/BEEF WITH POTATOES & SPINACH

Steps:

• Heat up the oil in a pot.
• On medium high heat fry the onions till they release their water and begin to shrivel.
• Then add the ginger, garlic, jalapeno, fenugreek, cumin, cumin powder, coriander powder, turmeric powder and chili powder. Slowly add about 1/4 cup of the water since the spices will pop and try to stick to the bottom. Cook and stir for approx 2-3 minutes.
• Then add the chopped tomato, stir and cook till it softens. (Tomato is added last because if you add it before it will kill the flavor of ginger/garlic in my experience).
• Add your choice of ground meat and potatoes with 1/4 cup more of the water, stir really well, cover and cook on medium for 15 minutes (add more water if you need to so it doesn't stick to the bottom).
• Add the spinach, tomato paste, salt and pepper to taste. Stir well again till it coats the entire mixture.
• Add the remaining water, cover and cook for another 5 minutes till the spinach releases any water and wilts down to a dark green.
• When done, turn up the heat to high and dry out any water in the pot. (This step is not necessary, my family prefers it a little saucy, my husband prefers it dry, just depends on how you want it.).
• Serve hot.
