Excellent recipe. I made a double batch and made a few adjustments. Used 2 pounds of potatoes, a double mix of spices but only two onions. Also added a couple of tablespoons of chopped coriander (cilantro) stems at the very end. One of our guests doesn't cope well with chilli, so I used paprika instead. I look forward to making these with the heat, but they were completely delicious without it. Thanks so much for posting. -

Loved these potatoes - just the right amount of flavor. Served them alongside Indonesian Chicken skewers and they were absolutely delicious. You are correct, these potatoes are good warm and also at room temperature. I'm quite sure they will make great leftovers as well. Will definitely make these wonderful potatoes again.

This is SO quick, easy and delicious! I have made lots of Indian potato dishes, but none with pre-cooked potatoes. It is a huge time saver to cook them in the microwave first, and the flavor is still wonderful. The amounts of spices were spot on too. I took A&A's mum's advice and used cumin seeds and added 6 curry leaves. I also used one onion and less oil and Indian chili powder, since it is very hot. Yum yum! -
This is a wonderful recipe, so very easy to make. My Mum's recipe is almost similar to this one, except she adds in a small piece of chopped ginger and a few curry leaves. I made it as is but added in cumin seeds instead of ground cumin. Thank you, JoyfulCook for sharing this recipe! :)
