Indianspicedpotatoes 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 large saucepan, add the potatoes, onion, garlic and shallow fry them over a medium heat for 10 minutes, stirring from time to time, until softened and golden brown.
• Add the cumin seeds, turmeric, ground coriander, garam malasa, salt, cloves, cardamoms, bay leaves, cinnamon stick, chopped chili and cook, stirring for about 5 minutes.
• Add the tomatoes and yoghurt, cover and cook very gently for 5 minutes or until the potatoes are cooked, adding a little water if necessary.
• Serve hot with the coriander sprinkled on top.

Steps:

• 1) Peel and cut potatoes into small cubes.
• 2) Heat oil in pan.
• 3) Add cumin seeds, onion seeds, mustard seeds and asafoetida powder to pan and shake around until seeds start to crackle.
• 4) Add potatoes, turmeric powder, salt and green chilis. Mix well.
• 5) Lower heat to simmer and cover pan for about 18-20 minutes or until the potatoes are fork tender. You may want to add a splash of water at this step if it's too dry for the potatoes to get cooked well.
• 6) Increase heat to high and stir. I let the potatoes brown a bit but you can skip this step.
• 7) Remove from heat and stir in chopped cilantro and lemon juice.

Steps:

• Heat oil in heavy large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add garlic, ginger, turmeric, coriander and paprika and sauté 1 minute. Mix in potatoes, then broth. Cover and cook 5 minutes. Uncover, increase heat to medium-high and cook until potatoes are tender and liquid is reduced to glaze, stirring gently, about 8 minutes more. Season generously with salt and pepper. Drizzle lemon juice over. Sprinkle with chopped cilantro and serve.
