Simple Dry Potato Curry With Fennel
"A very easy potato curry that can be also made into a wet curry."
- Ready In:
- 40mins
- Ingredients:
- 8
- Serves:
-
4
ingredients
- 6 medium potatoes
- 6 tablespoons oil
- 1 teaspoon black mustard seeds
- 1⁄2 teaspoon cumin seed
- 1⁄2 teaspoon fennel seed
- 1⁄2 teaspoon turmeric
- 1⁄2 teaspoon cayenne powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
directions
- Rinse off the potatoes, pierce the skin of each potato in a couple of places, and cook them on high in the microwave until tender.
- Remove the potatoes from the microwave and let them cool for 30 minutes (or for several hours if you are not in a rush to use them).
- When you are ready to make the potato curry, peel the potatoes and roughly dice them. Set aside.
- In a large nonstick frying pan put the oil, mustard seeds, cumin seeds, and the fennel seeds.
- Heat the oil over medium-high heat. When the mustard seeds have started popping for about 15 seconds, add the potatoes and turmeric.
- Use a spatula to flip over the potatoes as they cook. Cook until you get quite a number of brown spots on the potatoes (about 8 minutes).
- Sprinkle the cayenne powder and salt on the potatoes and cook and mix another minute or two.
- Note: You can also make this into a wet curry by adding 1/2 cup water after you add the potatoes and turmeric. Keep adding water, 1/2 cup at a time, until you have reached the desired consistency. You may need to adjust the cayenne and salt amounts if making a wet curry. Another variation is to reduce the potatoes to 3 or 4 and add other vegetables such as carrots, peas, cauliflower and/or green beans.

I like to eat a variety of food so have lots of different kinds of recipes that I have added and reviewed. Probably the favorite foods that I have reviewed are the ones with Nutella in the ingredients.
