Method

step 1

Heat the oil in a large, deep pan and cook the onions with a large pinch of salt for 10-12 mins until softened but not golden. Add the garlic, cumin seeds, courgettes and potatoes and cook for 5-6 mins, stirring often, until softened. Cover with the stock and season well.
step 2

Bring to the boil, reduce to a simmer and bubble for 15-20 mins until the potatoes are very soft.
step 3

Pour in the peas and wilt in the spinach in handfuls. Sprinkle in the chopped mint and cook for 3 mins more, then blend in a high-powered blender or using a hand blender. Season, then divide between four bowls and top with the yogurt, remaining whole mint leaves and a grinding of black pepper.
