Aloo Masala Spiced Potatoes Recipes

Steps:

• Bring a pot of water to boil over high. Once the water boils, add the potatoes. Cook until tender, about 10 minutes, then drain in a colander.
• In a heavy pot, heat the oil over medium. Add the urad dal, cumin and mustard seeds, and fry until cumin seeds are browned and dal is crisp, 1 to 2 minutes. Stir in the cashews, chile and ginger, and cook for another 2 minutes. Add the onion, salt and turmeric, and lower the heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion is translucent and tender but not browned, about 5 minutes.
• Tip the cooked potatoes, half the cilantro and 1/4 cup water into the pot, and stir well to coat. As you stir, let some of the potato get mashed. If the mixture seems dry, add a splash more of water. Cook over low, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are heated through, about 5 minutes, then season to taste with salt. Scrape into a serving dish; top with a generous squeeze of lemon and the remaining cilantro.

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a pan over a medium heat. Fry the mustard seeds, curry leaves and asafoetida until they begin to crackle, then add the onions. Cook for 3-4 mins until the onions are slightly golden.
• Stir in the tomato purée along with the diluted sambar masala. Tip in the potatoes, 1¼ tsp of salt and mix well. Lightly crush the potatoes with a wooden spoon and cook for a further 3-4 mins. Taste for seasoning. Serve garnished with the coriander.

Steps:

• 1. Preheat oven to 425°F. Combine RawSpiceBar's Punjabi Garam Masala spices and sea salt.
• 2. Cut potatoes lengthwise into 1-inch wedges. Toss wedges with oil and spices in a large bowl.
• 3. Transfer coated potatoes to roasting pan and roast in middle of oven, about 25 minutes. Turn over wedges and continue roasting until tender and turned slightly golden, about 15 minutes. Serve and enjoy.

Steps:

• Scrub potatoes. Place in a medium pot and cover with water. Bring to a boil over high heat; reduce heat to low and cover. Simmer until fork-tender, about 25 minutes. Drain and rinse in several changes of cold water and let stand.
• When potatoes are cool enough to handle, peel and cut into 1/2-inch cubes. Place in bowl and toss with 2 tablespoons of the oil.
• Heat remaining oil over medium-high heat in a medium saucepan or skillet. When hot, add asafetida, stir and let sizzle for 30 seconds. Add onion and saute until it begins to brown, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and ginger, stir and cook 3 minutes.
• Add the potatoes, turmeric, coriander, cumin and cayenne. Stir well to coat the potatoes and add 1/3 cup cold water.
• Add tomatoes, stir, cover and cook 10 minutes, stirring once after 5 minutes.
• Mix in garam masala, salt and cilantro.
• Serve.

Steps:

• Boil potatoes, leaving them very slightly on the firm side.
• Peel, cool and cut into 3/4" cubes.
• Sprinkle the cumin, coriander, cayenne, amchur, garam masala and chaat masala on the potatoes and mix well but gently.
• Add salt to taste, keeping in mind that some dry spices have their own saltiness. Do a taste test and mix gently.
• In a skillet, heat the oil on medium heat.
• Once the oil is hot, add in mustard seeds and allow them to pop.
• Add in the dry red chili, if using.
• Add in asafoetida, turmeric, curry leaves and green chillies in that order. Then add in the potatoes and mix gently, but thoroughly. Cook the potatoes till they are heated all the way through and further if you want them caramelized.
• Sprinkle on the lemon or lime juice and cilantro. Mix well.
• Serve as a side dish or as an appetizer.

Steps:

• Put oven rack in middle position and preheat oven to 500°F.
• Pat potatoes dry, then toss with remaining ingredients in a bowl until evenly coated.
• Spread out potatoes in 1 layer in a large (17- by 12-inch) shallow heavy baking pan, then roast, turning potatoes over with a metal spatula once or twice during roasting, until tender and some edges are golden brown, 25 to 30 minutes.
