Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer until potatoes are just tender and water is reduced by more than half. Add ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, chili powder, lemon juice, lemon zest, raisins and olive oil to boiling water. Stir well and allow liquid to thicken. Pour mixture into a serving bowl and serve hot.
