- Yields:
-
6 side serves
- Serves:
- 6
ingredients
- 1 teaspoon fenugreek seeds
- 1 teaspoon cumin seed
- 1 teaspoon coriander seed
- 1 teaspoon black peppercorns
- 1 teaspoon mustard seeds
- 1 teaspoon hot chili powder
- 3 teaspoons turmeric
- 4 tablespoons olive oil
- 1⁄2 teaspoon salt (to taste)
- 3 cups water
- 5 potatoes, medium, peeled and diced 1 cm cubes
directions
- Grind the first 5 ingredients with mortar and pestle or elec spice grinder. Add the chilli powder and turmeric. This is your basic spice mix - it makes about 9 teaspoons. I decided to use 3 teas, with my 5 potatoes. You decide how much you need. 5 potatoes diced nicely covered the bottom of my rectangular elec frypan.
- Heat the oil in a frypan. Cook "your" spices in the oil for a minute, then add the potatoes. Toss gently in the spices to cover. Fry gently for a minute or two, then add a cup of water. Stir gently.
- Continue to cook over medium heat. Stir. Add lid. Keep an eye on it. The curry sauce will begin to thicken; add another cup of water when it seems to be getting too thick. Continue to cook with lid on, stirring from time to time.
- Add another (3rd) cup of water. How much water will vary depending on how moist you want the curry. Salt to taste, and test the potatoes for firmness til they are how you like them. Enjoy.

<p>Amazing best friend and hubby of 25 yrs, 3 awesome sons and a beautiful daughter. I am blessed! My reviews prior to 2011 often mention substitutions...This is a hangover from our years living in Fiji where ingredients are not always available. I don't do this to detract from your recipe, but I do mention the subs so others will know what worked. </p>
<p>I love writing, vibrant colours and adventure, and like to combine the three! <img title=Cool src=/tiny_mce/plugins/emotions/img/smiley-cool.gif border=0 alt=Cool /></p>
