Guajarati Vegetarian Potato Curry
This is a very tasty recipe that my good friend Shetal eventually gave to me after dozens of meals and much hounding! It is from her home in Guajarati and is the finest potato curry I ever ate. It is a handy dish, which takes less than half an hour to cook and is simply oo-la-la! This version does for four but with a little tinkering you can make it for as many as you like or for as few as you like!
6 decent sized potatoes peeled and cubed
1 teaspoon cumin seeds
½ teaspoon mustard seeds
½ teaspoon each of turmeric and asafoetida powders
1 teaspoon red chilli powder
1 teaspoon ginger-green chilly paste
2 tomatoes finely chopped
1 tablespoon of sugar
1 tablespoon coriander-cumin seeds dry roasted and powdered.
1. Heat the oil in a pan on medium level and roast the mustard and cumin seeds. Add the asafoetida, turmeric and red chilli powders. Add the ginger-green chilly paste. Add the chopped tomatoes and fry for a couple of minutes.
2. Mix in the potato cubes along with some water, sugar and salt. Cover and cook on low level for about 15 minutes, Mix in the coriander-cumin seed powder and keep covered for a further few minutes.
3. Garnish with finely chopped fresh coriander leaves.
4. Add salt to taste.
Grab a few bowls, hock it in, grab your spoon and dig in!! Perfect when served with a few naan breads and ice cold glasses of milk!
