I made this last night for friends to go with a beef curry and it was divine, I have just tried to replicate it today low fat style and its nice but not a patch on last nights. So if you are going to have it go for the full fat but maybe restrict yourself to once every couple of months or so. Give it a go you won't be sorry. I cannot tell you where I found it, just one of those odd recipes that pop up on the net.
Update: I work with an Indian lady and she suggested tinned spinach works well. Haven't tried it yet but will give it ago next time I make it.

Heat butter and oil in pan and add onions, garlic, ginger and chillis, stir fry on medium heat for two mins, stirring frequently. Add potatoes and stir fry for 5 mins, then add tumeric, salt , coriander, cumin. Cook for 15 mins or until potatoes are tender, I put the lid on at this stage and checked it every 5 mins or so and stirred. Sometime during this process I added a little water to stop sticking. When potatoes were cooked I added 2 bags of spinach which I had chopped and then replaced the lid to allow spinach to wilt slightly. When spinach has wilted stir into the potatoes and spices. Serve as a side dish with curry!
