Roasted Potatoes With East Indian Spices Recipes

INDIAN POTATOES

Steps:

• HEAT OVEN to 425F/218C. Line a pan with parchment or foil. If using foil, spray with oil.
• BOIL POTATOES: Place potatoes in medium pot. Add enough cold water to just cover potatoes. Add a couple of teaspoons salt. Bring to boil. Lower heat to medium and simmer, partially covered for 6-10 minutes (depending on size of potatoes) until tender but not mushy). Drain potatoes, place back on stove and shake over heat to dry them out and 'rough them up' for 1 minute.
• MAKE SEASONING MIXTURE: Mix together all seasoning ingredients in small bowl. Add to potatoes in pot and stir gently to coat potatoes evenly.
• ROAST POTATOES: Spread seasoned potatoes onto lined pan in a single layer. Drizzle on a little extra olive oil if you like. Roast for 20-25 minutes, turning half way through.
• GARNISH AND SERVE: Squeeze half a lime or more over potatoes and sprinkle with coriander. Transfer to large bowl or serving dish and serve immediately. These potatoes are great at room temperature too!

POTATOES WITH INDIAN SPICES

Steps:

• Slice the potatoes into half-inch rounds, then dice these further into small, evenly-sized cubes.
• Using a wok or other non-stick pan, take the minimum amount of oil needed and fry these cubed potatoes over a high heat to start with and then turn the heat down and cover. When the potatoes are a little more than half done, add the turmeric, chili powder and some salt, closely followed by the remaining spices. Stir to combine and put the lid back on once again.
• When the potatoes are nearly ready (and you will have to be vigilant to ensure they don't get too soft), take the lid off, turn the heat up and stir-fry to enable any excess liquid to evaporate. Garnish with fresh cilantro and serve.
