Song: Soni De Nakhre

Ingredients:
~3 tbsp vegetable oil
~1/2 tsp cumin seeds
~3 curry leaves
~1 scant tsp crushed dried red chillies
~1/4 tsp each of onion seeds, mustard seeds and fenugreek
~1/2 tsp fennel seeds
~3 garlic cloves finely chopped
~1/2 tsp grated fresh root ginger
~2 onions sliced
~6 large new potatoes (to make about the equivalent amount of potato to onion when raw)  sliced into 1/4 inch thick slices
~small handful chopped fresh coriander
~1 red or green chilli, seeded and chopped finely

Directions:

  1. Heat the oil in a large skillet.  Lower the heat slightly and add the cumin, curry leaves, dried chillies, onion, mustard and fenugreek seeds, fennel seeds, garlic and ginger.  Cook for about 1 minute or until the seeds start to pop then add the onions.  Cook gently for about 10 minutes or until the onions are soft and golden brown.
  2. Add the potatoes, coriander and green chilli.  Mix well, cover the pan and cook over a low heat for about 7 minutes or until the potatoes are tender.  Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
  3. Serve hot.
