With a few humble spuds and the right amount of spice, you can easily make a delicious, warming dinner that the whole family will love.
INGREDIENTS
8 medium potatoes, skin on, cut into bite-sized pieces
1 onion, peeled and finely diced
3 tomatoes, finely diced
3 cloves garlic, peeled and minced
1 tbsp freshly grated ginger
1 green chilli, deseeded and finely chopped
1 tsp cumin seeds
1/2 tsp chilli powder
1/4 tsp turmeric
2 tbsp Garam Masala
1 tsp salt
2 tbsp vegetable oil
Handful freshly chopped coriander to garnish
METHOD
In a saucepan, boil the potatoes for 8 minutes until tender with the salt. Drain and leave to steam dry once cooked
Meanwhile, heat the oil in a heavy bottomed frying pan
Add the cumin seeds and when they begin sizzle, add the chopped onion.
Let the onions cook on low-medium heat for around 12 minutes, stirring every now and then until golden and lightly caramelised
Now add the garlic, ginger and green chilli. Cook for around 1 minute being careful not to burn, and then add the tomatoes. Let them cook down for a couple of minutes: you can mash them with a wooden spoon to help break them down
Next, add all the spices, and the boiled potatoes and mix well
Place the lid on the pan and cook for around 5 minutes
Check for seasoning and add the chopped coriander
Serve with rice, fresh naan or roti
