Dry Potato Subji

Vegetables - Potato - -

INGREDIENTS

5 red russet potatoes, cubed small
3 T oil
A few jalapenos, cut small
1/3 t mustard seeds
1/3 t cumin seeds
1/2 t coriander powder
1/2 t turmeric
Chilli powder, lots (a few t)
Salt (to taste)

METHOD

First make a chaunk. This is done by heating the oil and then putting the mustard seeds and cumin seeds in. Let the seeds start popping. Then also add in the jalapenoes. After a while of popping (this roasts the seeds and enhances the flavor) put in the potatoes.

Stir for a bit. If it gets sticky, put a little bit of water in, and cover the pot for a while. Make sure you don't scorch it at all.

When the potatoes are about half done, put in the coriander and turmeric. Stir and cover. Put it on a low flame for about 5 minutes. It's done when you can easily cut through a potato piece with the back of a knife.

NOTES

Subji refers to a wide variety of vegetable preparations.
