Method
step 1
Bring a pan of salted water to the boil. Add the potatoes and cook for 6-7 mins. Drain and leave to steam-dry.
step 2
Meanwhile, heat the oil in a large pan. Add the onion and a pinch of salt and fry over a low-medium heat for 15-20 mins or until golden and caramelised. Add the ginger, garlic, spices and curry powder, and cook for 1 min. Add the spinach, a handful at a time and stir until wilted. Stir through the rice and potatoes, and cook until warmed though. Season to taste, then stir through the mint and coriander.
step 3
Serve the pilaf in bowls, scattered with the chilli, and the chutney and coconut yogurt on the side.
