Posted in category Indian Recipes

Ingredients

6-7 large potatoes
2 medium sized onions
½ tsp chilli powder
½ tsp turmeric powder
½ tsp cumin powder
½ tsp coriander powder or a small
handful of coriander leaves, finely chopped
½ tsp garam masala
½ tbsp oil
Mustard seeds (optional)
Curry leaves
Salt to taste

Method

Pierce the potatoes with a sharp knife and boil in water to which a little salt has been added.

Peel and chop the onions fine while waiting for the potatoes to cook.

Cool, drain and peel the potatoes. Crumble two into small pieces and cut the others into pieces about two inches big.

Heat the oil in a vessel and toss in the mustard seeds. Add the onions and allow them to cook on a lowered flame until they become soft and transparent.

Add the potatoes and roast them a little in the oil, the small pieces first, the big ones later. Add the curry leaves and enough water to cover the potatoes.

Add the spices and simmer on a low flame for a few minutes until the curry begins to thicken.

Sprinkle the coriander leaves, simmer for another minute or so and serve hot, with rice or bread.

Potato and Spinach Salad

Ingredients

12-15 baby potatoes or 6-7 large ones
6 hard boiled eggs
½ cup mayonnaise
½ cup sour cream (or fresh curd if you have no cream)
½ cup fresh spinach, finely chopped
½ cup finely chopped celery (fresh coriander is an acceptable substitute)
1 tsp Soya sauce (optional)
The juice of one lemon

Method

Pierce the potatoes with a sharp knife and boil in water to which a little salt has been added. (A quick tip is to put them in the pressure cooker. Turn off at the first whistle and do not open for a few minutes to allow the steam to finish the cooking process.)

Cool, drain and peel. If you have chosen large potatoes instead of the tastier baby ones, cut them into pieces about one and a half-inch big.

Peel the eggs and cut them into half. Separate the yolks from the whites.

Cut the egg whites into one-inch pieces.

In a bowl, blend the egg yolks with mayonnaise, cream (or curd) and the Soya sauce.

Add the potatoes, celery, spinach and egg whites to the above mixture and mix well.

Sprinkle with lemon juice and serve chilled with chappatis or bread.
