  1. This was fabulous! So flavorful. I didn't have sesame seeds so used sesame oil, and only had ground cumin. Made for Best of 2014 game.
     
  2. Wow, wow, wow. This was fantastic Awalde. I really enjoyed this flavorful dish. I have a problem with cumin, so I used coriander seeds instead, but otherwise made this exactly as written. Was this good, I can still taste it, I am drooling on my key board. There is so much flavor in this dish, the potatoes just soak up all the yummy goodness. Served the curry ontop of Naan bread for a wonderful lunch. I will be enjoying this special dish for a long time to come... Kudos my friend, this has also gone into my Best of 2014 Cookbook. Made for Aussie Swap March 2014
     
  3. I was expecting this to be yummy but this is one of those rare simple recipes that are more than the sum if it's parts. I feel that delectable fits perfectly. The seasonings are perfect, I used black sesame seeds (what I currently have) which added visual interest. I had a few leftover Recipe #473901 in the fridge and the two recipes made today's lunch. The uses for this great potato recipe just really go on and on though. If I put a serving on a plate with a burger I'd vastly prefer the curry potatoes :D. Made for awalde's Treasure Hunt win in Sweet December Event 2013.
     
  4. These potatoes are sensational. So flavourful, so easy to make. I made a double batch and can imagine making them at least once a week. Served with your Recipe #460196, but I'll be making them for my regular Indian feasts too. Thanks so very much for posting.
     
  5. Fantastic potato curry! I made this with vegetable omelette, and it was a huge hit. Loved the toasted seeds around the potatoes, and the flaked coconut added some lovely natural sweetness. Thanks for sharing this winner!<br/>Made for Holiday Jolly Diabetic Friendly Foods and Game of the Diabetes Forum.
