Curry Spiced Potatoes

Anything to do with potatoes, are comfort food for me and seriously, who does not like potatoes!! They go with everything from eggs to meat to soups and you can have them any way you want – mashed, roasted, fried, or stewed. I know, they are a little carb-rich, but then, we really don’t have to finish off a full bag of potatoes in one go, right?

I did some research to know more about potatoes and this is what I found – they are packed with various nutrients such as carotenoids, flavonoids and caffeic acid which help prevent cell damage, help in digestion, heart health, blood pressure and even cancer prevention.  Woo Hoo!

I cook with potatoes a lot and we eat potatoes almost every day for dinner. No kidding!. This is one recipe, which is beyond easy and simple to make. It doesn’t need any onion, ginger or garlic nor any fancy creamy stuff. Sometimes, I serve them with roti or steamed rice and sometimes we just eat as an appetizer. Curry Spiced Potatoes

INGREDIENTS:

  • A small bunch of coriander leaves, chopped
  • 2 TBSP cumin and coriander powder each

  • 2 TBSP chili powder or more if you like spicy
  • A pinch of asafoetida powder (Optional)

  • 2 to 4 dry red chilies crushed
  • 1 TSP black peppercorns crushed
  • 1 TBSP Curry powder (Available in Indian Stores)
  • Lemon juice as per taste

METHOD:

  • Wash all the baby potatoes and parboil them in a large pan of water.
  • Prick each potato lightly with a fork. This step is important.
  • Heat 1 tbsp oil in a pan and fry the potatoes with 1 tsp of turmeric and salt. Fry for few minutes until you get that golden red color. Transfer the potatoes to another pan.
  • Add rest of the oil to the pan.
  • Add little cumin seeds and let it turn brown
  • Add the ground masala powder (cumin and coriander powder), turmeric, asafoetida, chili powder, black pepper, curry powder, green chilies and sauté until fragrant. Just for a minute or two.
  • Add the yogurt and salt and sauté for few more minutes in low heat
  • Add the potatoes and stir fry for few more minutes until the potatoes are well coated with spices. Lower the heat and cover the potatoes. This process will let the potatoes to absorb all the flavors.
