Spicy Indian Potatoes Recipes

Steps:

• Cover the potatoes in cold salted water, then bring to the boil. Simmer for 5 mins, until just tender. Drain and allow to steam dry for a few mins. Heat the oil in a frying pan and fry the spices for 1 min until fragrant. Tip in the potatoes and toss well so they are coated in the spices. Gently fry for 5-10 mins until slightly golden, then add peas, mix well and cook for 3-4 mins more. Season well before serving.

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:

• Put the ginger, garlic and four tomatoes into a food processor and blitz until smooth. Set aside.
• Put the potatoes in a large saucepan. Cover with cold water and bring to a simmer over a medium heat. Cook for 8-10 mins, or until just tender. Drain and leave to steam dry.
• Meanwhile, heat the oil in a large non-stick frying pan over a medium heat. Add the onions and a large pinch of salt and fry for 15 mins, or until the onions are golden and sticky. Add the chillies, mustard seeds, ground coriander, turmeric, cumin and garam masala to the pan and fry for another 2 mins. Tip in the tomato mixture and bring to a gentle simmer, then carefully stir in the potatoes and remaining tomatoes. Season to taste. Gently simmer the Bombay potatoes for a few mins until everything is warmed through, then serve topped with the coriander.

Steps:

• Lightly brown onion in oil in a medium size skillet.
• Stir in salt, cayenne, turmeric and cumin. Add potatoes and cook 10 minutes stirring occasionally.
• Add tomatoes, cover pan and cook until potatoes are soft, about 10 minutes.
