Potatoes With Indian Spices

Vicki in CT's Note:

savory and delicious

• Total Time: 30 mins
• Prep Time: 10 mins
• Cook Time: 20 mins

Ingredients:

Servings: 4

• 2 lbs potatoes, peeled
• 1 -2 tablespoon vegetable oil
• 1/2 teaspoon turmeric
• 1/2 teaspoon red chili powder
• coarse salt
• 1/2 teaspoon cumin seed
• 1/2 teaspoon fennel seed
• 3 tablespoons freshly chopped cilantro leaves

Directions:

1. Slice the potatoes into half-inch rounds, then dice these further into small, evenly-sized cubes.
2. Using a wok or other non-stick pan, take the minimum amount of oil needed and fry these cubed potatoes over a high heat to start with and then turn the heat down and cover. When the potatoes are a little more than half done, add the turmeric, chili powder and some salt, closely followed by the remaining spices. Stir to combine and put the lid back on once again.
3. When the potatoes are nearly ready (and you will have to be vigilant to ensure they don't get too soft), take the lid off, turn the heat up and stir-fry to enable any excess liquid to evaporate. Garnish with fresh cilantro and serve.

Wonderful!!! This was quick and easy. A potatoes farmer gave hubby a huge bag of potatoes, so I have been looking for some interesting recipes to use them on. I seen this recipe in the "What's Popular Now" section and I had to try it. It was delicious, everyone enjoyed it including my 6 year old daughter. Changes I made is, I left out the red chilli (hubby and I like a little heat but Little Miss doesn't) and "garnished" it with fresh mint instead of coriander (it was all I had at home). Thank you for the recipe Vicki in CT

WOW! This was so good, the tumeric gives it such a pretty color and it came together so quickly with items I had on hand, Hubby was smelling as I cooked going "yum, Indian food". Something I would not have tried before is now entering my regular meal roation, thanks for a keeper!
