CREAMY SPINACH & POTATO CURRY with minted cucumber dip

A hearty and aromatic dish that will please the masses.

One of my all-time favourite cuisines is Indian – I love that Indian flavours are unique and aromatic.

Besides this dish smelling might fine and tasting even better. What really gets it over the line for me is that it’s easy enough for me to make and stores well when made in bulk.
