Cooking Instructions

The protein cooking time listed in this recipe has been updated.

As of December 2025, we’ve revised cooking times for all our proteins to reflect improved food safety guidance.

Check out the latest recommended times in our Cooking Guidelines.

  1. Bring a saucepan filled with lightly salted hot water to a boil. Roughly chop the potatoes into 2-3cm chunks. Add the potatoes and simmer for 15-18 mins, until soft. Trim and cut the tenderstem broccoli into thirds, then add to the pan in the final 3 mins of cooking. Drain altogether then leave to cool in the colander.
  2. Drain and coarsely grate the beetroot into a large mixing bowl. Add the spice blend, ginger and garlic paste, flour and a pinch of sea salt. Mix and shape into 4 fritters.
  3. Heat a large frying pan with 1 tbsp oil on medium heat. Add the fritters and cook for 4-5 mins, on each side, until golden.
  4. In a small bowl mix the yoghurt, a squeeze of lemon juice (to taste), a pinch of sea salt and black pepper.
  5. Once the potatoes are cooked, reheat the saucepan with 1 tbsp oil on medium heat. Add the cumin and mustard seeds and cook for 30 seconds, until popping. Add the potatoes, tenderstem broccoli, turmeric and spinach. Cook for 2-3 mins, until wilted. Season with sea salt to taste.
  6. Serve the beetroot fritters alongside the Bombay potatoes and yoghurt. Serve with the remaining lemon wedges.
