Ingredients
The quantities follow this count.
How to cook it
-
Peel and dice the potatoes into small even cubes so they fry rather than steam.
-
Heat the oil in a wide pan and pop the cumin seeds, then add the sliced onion and fry 4 minutes until soft.
-
Add the potato with the turmeric, red chili powder, coriander powder and salt and toss until every cube is coated.
-
Cover and cook on a low flame 10 minutes, shaking the pan rather than stirring so the cubes keep their shape.
-
Uncover, raise the heat and fry 4 minutes more until the edges are crisp and golden.
-
Finish with amchur, chopped green chilies and coriander leaves. This is as good beside a puri at breakfast as it is beside a daal at night.
