These were fantastic ! I doubled this as 1/2 lb is only about two med. potatoes and definitely not enough to "serve 4" around here. I otherwise followed your recipe exactly. I found the Asafetida Powder at Whole Foods Market and then for an even better price at the Indian Store. I served this with Indian Spicy Peas (Sukhi Matar)Recipe #28016 and steamed brown rice. If I could give this more than 5 stars I would - Thanks for posting it.

July 2008 update: VERY happy to be back on Zaar after about a two year absence due to having had no internet connection at home, and having been too unwell for a time so that getting re-connected wasn't even a priority!
<br>
<br>And really looking forward to getting back into the Zaar world and connecting again with the many wonderful people I knew before, and new people, of course!
