Ingredients
- 750 g potato peeled and cubed - roughly 1½cm / ½inch cubes (See Note 1, baking variety
- 2 tablespoons neutral cooking oil or ghee, generic cooking oil
- 1 red onion diced
- 1 teaspoon cumin seeds
- 1 tablespoon black mustard seeds (See Note 2)
- 2 teaspoons Turmeric
- 2 teaspoons garam masala
- 1 teaspoon salt (or to taste)
- ½ teaspoon chili flakes or to taste
- cilantro to garnish (optional, fresh
Instructions
- Place the cubed potatoes in a saucepan. Cover with boiling water and bring back to boiling over a high heat.
- Turn the potatoes down and simmer over a low heat for 10 minutes or until just cooked. (Don’t overcook or they will fall apart when you fry them!)
- Drain the potatoes in a sieve and leave to air dry over the empty saucepan.
- Place the oil and diced red onion in a large frying pan (or a wok). Fry gently over a low heat with the lid on for 3 minutes or until softened but not browned.
- Turn the heat up to high and add the cooked potatoes. Fry for 3 minutes, stirring regularly.
- Turn the heat down to medium and add the cumin seeds, mustard seeds, turmeric, garam masala, salt and chilli flakes – fry for 3-5 minutes, stirring regularly. Add a little more oil if it starts to get too dry.
- Serve garnished with fresh coriander.
Notes
- I find the best potatoes for this recipe are the kind sold as ‘baking potatoes’ or ‘jacket potatoes’.
- Black mustard seeds can be hard to get hold of. If you can’t find them in your local supermarket, you can get them from Amazon.
- Suitable for freezing.
