Boil the potatoes in salted water until just tender. While they are cooking, soften the onions and garlic in the oil in a frying pan for a few minutes.

Add all the spices, then fry for 1 minute more. Stir in the chickpeas and tomato purée with 400ml water, then turn the heat up and bubble for a few minutes.

When the potatoes are ready, drain and add to the pan. Cook for a few minutes until the sauce is thick, stir in the spinach, then season.

When the spinach has wilted, scatter with coriander and serve with the wholemeal chapatis, yoghurt and chutney on the side.
