Remove the excess oil but leave about 1 tbsp in the pan. Fry the ginger, garlic, onion, green and dried chillies and cumin seeds until the onion is golden brown
Add the potatoes and salt and stir well. Cover the pan and cook over a medium heat, stirring occasionally until the potatoes are tender when pierced with a sharp knife
Add the spinach and stir well. Cook with the pan uncovered until the spinach is tender and all the excess fluids have evaporated. Garnish with the chopped tomatoes and serve hot.
