Indian Potatoes with Mustard Seeds
A great side dish, can be a vegetarian main dish also. Has been served at tea time in India as a snack, too! Oil-free, more low-fat cooking with high flavor! :)
40 min 10 min prep
1 teaspoon cumin seeds
1 teaspoon brown mustard seeds
1 large onion, finely chopped
3 serrano chilies, split lengthwise
4 medium potatoes, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch pieces
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cumin
1 1/2 teaspoons ground coriander
1/2 teaspoon turmeric
salt, to taste
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro
Heat cumin seeds and mustard seed in hot dry skillet over high heat, swirling pan, until seeds start to pop.
Reduce heat to medium; add onions, chilies, and add a small amount of water; cook until onion is tender, adding more water as necessary to prevent sticking.
Add potatoes, ground cumin, coriander, turmeric, salt (to taste), and cayenne pepper, stirring to mix well.
Add 2/3 cup water, cover, reduce heat and cook for 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally, until spices are absorbed and potatoes are tender.
Add a small amount of water at a time if all liquid evaporates.
Fold in cilantro just before serving.

I cook it vey often !
ingredients-
2 large size, good quality potatoes, their skin should be clean , and they should be firm, without any spots, that's the test.
2 fresh green chillies, one onion, refined oil, half teaspoon mustard seeds, half teaspoon cumin seeds, some fresh curry leaves, half tea spoon turmeric powder, coriander leaves, 1or 2 garlic buds, cleaned and chopped fine, some fresh ginger chopped fine.
boil the potatoes, just enough to easily peel, and cut into cubes, which will not mash,
heat 2 table spoons of oil, in a wok, when hot, but should not be burning, put some mustard seeds, and let them crackle, imediately add cumin seeds, let crackle, then add chillies, garlic buds, curry leaves, and turmeric powder, and stir , add chopped onion, and allow to turn brownish,
add potato cubes, and stir, cover with a lid for a few minutes,remove, sprinkle a pinch of salt, stir, cover for 2 minutes,
finally, garnish with chopped coriander, and serve hot, with chapatis, that's indian bread, or bread,
if you like, squeeze a dash of lime ,on the ready dish.
the art of this dish is into not allowing the mustard, and cumin seeds burn, but just crackle !
watch keith floyd's indian cookery show ! he is an expert, though a foreigner !
let me know, if you could do it, and enjoyed !
