Ingredients:
Aloo (Potatoes 2 Large)
Jeera (Cumin seeds 1 teaspoon)
Chives ( a small bunch)
Cilantro (a small bunch)
Turmeric (1 teaspoon)
Salt (to taste)
Pepper (Optional, to taste)
Oregano (Optional, to taste)
Oil (1 teaspoon)
Preparation:
Cut potatoes into small parallelepiped pieces. Soak in cold water for five minutes.
Chop cilantro and chives.
Heat 1 teaspoon oil in a nonstick saucepan, add 1 teaspoon cumin and wait for it to turn brown. Add 1 teaspoon of turmeric powder, wait for it to brown slightly. Add potatoes, turn to high flame and stir fry till the pieces are cooked on the inside and caramelized slightly on the outside. Add salt and (pepper, oregano optional, not really used in the Indian recipe so I don’t use it mostly) chopped chives and cilantro.
Serve hot with brown or white rice. Can also add plain yoogurt as a side.
This is my lunch 🙂
