Boil potatoes in salted water for 12–15 minutes until just tender when pierced with a fork. Drain and set aside. Do not overcook — they will cook further in the pan.

Heat ghee in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add mustard seeds and cover briefly until they pop (about 30 seconds). Add cumin seeds and sizzle 20 seconds. Add onion and cook for 8 minutes until golden. Add garlic, ginger, and green chiles, cook 2 minutes.

Add turmeric and coriander powder, stir 1 minute. Add boiled potatoes and toss to coat in the spiced oil. Cook for 5–6 minutes until potatoes develop a light golden crust, pressing gently with a spatula.

Add spinach in large handfuls, stirring between additions until wilted, about 3–4 minutes total. Sprinkle in garam masala and season with salt. Finish with a squeeze of lemon juice. Serve immediately.
