Serves:
4

Step : You will need:

  • 2 tbsp Cooking Oil
  • 500 g Potatoes, parboiled
  • 1 tsp Mustard Seeds
  • 1 Bay Leaf
  • ½ Inch piece of ginger, grated
  • 1 medium Onion, Peeled and sliced
  • ½ tsp Turmeric Powder
  • 1 tsp Coriander powder
  • ½ tsp Chilli Powder
  • pinch Salt
  • 1 tsp Lemon juice
  • 1 tbsp Fresh coriander leaves, roughly chopped
  • 1 tsp Grated garlic
  • 2 tomatoes, chopped
  • 1 knife
  • 1 colinder
  • 1 wok or frying pan
  • 1 wooden or metal spoon

Step 1: Boil Potatoes and Set Aside

Boil the potatoes in their skin. Put them in a colander and run cold water over them. Peel the potatoes and cut them into 2 inch sized pieces. Keep aside.

Step 2: Heat Oil

Heat the oil in a wok.

Step 3: Add Mustard Seeds

Add mustard seeds and Bay leaf. Allow the seeds to splutter. It is a good idea to keep the lid on here, as seeds jump all over if you don't.

Step 4: Add Ginger and Onions

Add the ginger and onions. Fry until the onion is medium brown.

Step 5: Add Spices

Turn the heat down and add all ground spices. Give a quick stir to release flavours.

Step 6: Add Potatoes

Add the potatoes, turn the heat up to medium and stir fry the potatoes for a few minutes, until all potatoes are well coated with spices.

Step 7: Cook and Stir

Cook for a further 5 minutes on a low to medium heat, stirring gently from time to time, taking care not to break the potatoes.

Step 8: Serve

Add coriander leaves and serve hot
