The concept is simple: boil the potatoes then pan fry them with flavourings of your choice. Today I'll be mainly using mustard and cumin seeds (as the title suggests) plus garlic and turmeric. In this version I've added a slight twist by garnishing with fried onions. Nice!
As this is really a side dish to accompany a main meal (any meal - just replace the mash with these) I won't be giving an exact cost breakdown except to say that it won't cost much more than the potatoes themselves: in other words, cheap as chips!
You'll need:
- potatoes (no surprises there!) boiled in their skins till done
- 1 onion cut into thin slices
- 1-2 cloves of garlic
- 1 tsp mustard seeds
- 1 tsp cumin seeds
- 1/3 tsp turmeric
- some oil
Let's boogie!
1. Boil the potatoes in their skins in salted water for around 15 minutes (prod with a fork to check they're done - the fork should go in easily). Drain and slice into halves.
2. Oil in a hot wok. Mustard seeds in. Crackle. Cumin seeds in.
3. Onions in. Fry until a deep golden brown.
4. Remove the onions with a slotted spoon leaving the remaining oil in the pan for doing the potatoes.
5. Garlic in. 30 seconds to cook out the rawness.
6. Turmeric in.
7. Potatoes in. Do for 5 minutes until they slightly brown on the outside.
8. You're done!
