Wash the spinach leaves thoroughly.

Heat a nonstick pan over medium flame. Add the washed spinach to the pan.

Soon the spinach will start wilting and start releasing water.
-
Let the water evaporate and stir intermittently.
-
Once spinach is cooked and most water dries up, transfer the spinach in a dish.

-
Once the oil is hot, add cumin seeds. Let them crackle. Now add asafoetida. Then add chopped onion.
-
Saute till the onion starts to turn golden brown.
-
Add garlic paste, ginger paste and mustard paste one by one.

-
.Also add the red chili powder and salt to taste.
-
.Let the potatoes cook on medium heat for 5-6 minutes with the lid on. Stir in between so that potatoes doesn’t burn.
