CUMIN-SCENTED POTATOES WITH TOMATOES (GHURMA ALOO)
Of Iranian origin, ghurmas are thick-sauced, long-simmered stews, spiked with dry herbs and thickened with vegetables. My close friend R. J. Singh, more affectionately called Molu, remembers this particular curry from his days at boarding school, where there was a cook of Iranian ancestry.

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.

Steps:
- Set potatoes on a cookie sheet and drizzle them with just enough oil to lightly coat them, about 1 1/2 tablespoons. Toss potatoes with cumin seed and roast 20 minutes at 400 F in a hot oven, then broil 5 minutes on high to brown edges of the cut potatoes. If you are making them with the Grilled Boneless Leg of Lamb, set the baking sheet with the potatoes in the oven along side the lamb on the same rack. Toss cooked potatoes with salt, to your taste, and serve.

This is a regular family favourite that we serve with Moroccan or Lebanese style meals. Or Greek or Italian-whatever we feel like I guess! And we love these so much, 2 spuds each is almost not enough!

INDIAN CUMIN POTATOES ( JEERA ALOO )
A nice Indian-style twist on potatoes. The fried whole cumin seeds have a unique slightly nutty flavor. A good way to use up leftover boiled potatoes. Eat with fried meat or rolled in a wheat tortilla with some chopped tomato and salad and a sprinkle of lemon juice for a vegetarian meal. Serve either hot, warm or cold. - I got the recipe from Julie Sahni's "Introduction to Indian Cooking".

Steps:
- Wash, peel and cut potatoes in 3/4 dice or wedges, or leave skin on if you prefer.
- Bring potatoes to a boil in water and 1/2 t salt. Cover and let boil for 5-8 minutes until just cooked.
- Drain and let steam off moisture until they have a sort of dry outer skin, 10-15 minutes, or let cool completely and keep in the fridge up to 2 days. Make sure they are dry before frying.
- Heat oil in a large non-stick pan over medium high heat. Add cumin seeds and fry 30-60 seconds until they turn a shade darker and give off smell.
- Add potatoes and sprinkle with turmeric. Shake pan and fry potatoes about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until evenly golden and crisp. The trick is not to stir too frequently, so that a crust can develop.
- Sprinkle with coriander or parsley and taste with salt. Shake pan to mix and serve. You can drain potatoes on paper towels first, before adding the fresh herbs if you like.
- NOTE: The recipe can be done with other starchy vegetables like sweet potatoes or plantains, but I never tried those.

Tips:
- Select the right potatoes: For best results, use firm and waxy potatoes like Yukon Gold or Red Bliss. They hold their shape well during cooking and won't become mushy.
- Cut the potatoes evenly: This ensures they cook evenly. If the pieces are too small, they'll overcook and become mushy.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: If the pan is too crowded, the potatoes will steam instead of fry and won't get crispy.
- Use a good quality cumin: The better the cumin, the better the flavor of the dish. Look for cumin that is fresh and has a strong, pungent aroma.
- Don't be afraid to adjust the spice level: If you like your food spicy, add more chili powder or cayenne pepper. If you prefer a milder dish, use less.
Conclusion:
Cumin scented potatoes with tomatoes (Ghurma Aloo) is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The combination of cumin, tomatoes, and potatoes creates a flavorful and satisfying dish that is sure to please everyone at the table. Serve it with rice or naan and enjoy!
