Cumin Potatoes And Tomatoes Recipes

CUMIN-SCENTED POTATOES WITH TOMATOES (GHURMA ALOO)

Steps:

• Drain the potatoes and pat them dry.
• Heat the oil in a medium-size saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the cumin seeds and cook until they sizzle, turn reddish brown, and are fragrant, 5 to 10 seconds. Add the potatoes, onion, and turmeric, and stir-fry until the potatoes and onion are lightly browned around the edges, 4 to 6 minutes.
• Sprinkle in the salt and cayenne, and stir once or twice. Pour in 1 cup water and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium-low, cover the pan, and cook, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are almost fall-apart tender, 18 to 20 minutes.
• Stir in the tomato and cilantro, and cover the pan. Simmer, stirring occasionally, until the tomato is warmed through, about 2 minutes. Then serve.

Add the cumin seeds they should sizzle upon contact with the hot oil. Quickly add the potatoes and then the coriander, ground cumin, salt, and paprika. Add the potatoes and cook, stirring carefully to avoid mashing them, until golden, about 10 minutes.3. Add the mango powder and cilantro and cook, stirring, another 5 to 7 minutes. Transfer to a serving platter, garnish with freshly ground black pepper and cilantro sprigs, and serve.VARIATION: Instead of cutting the potatoes, very coarsely mash them with a fork and then proceed with the recipe. Or, instead of the cilantro, mix in 1/2 cup Basic Green Chutney (see Chutneys and Pickles) and finish cooking.From "1,000 Indian Recipes." Copyright 2002 by Neelam Batra.
