Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 11

1.5 pounds (680g) baby potatoes, cut in half (or quarters if large) (Note 1)
2 tablespoon olive oil or vegetable oil
1 tablespoon curry powder
1 tablespoon grainy whole grain mustard ((1 tbsp turmeric can be substituted))
2 teaspoon Garam Masala (Note 2)
2 teaspoon minced garlic (2 garlic cloves) (or 1/4 tsp garlic powder)
1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger ((or pinch of ground ginger))
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
OPTIONAL: 1/4-1/2 tsp red chili flakes
1/2 lime
2 tablespoon chopped fresh coriander leaves (Note 3)

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!

Provided by Nigella Lawson : Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Time 30m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 pounds potatoes, peeled
1 to 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1/2 teaspoon turmeric
1/2 teaspoon red chili powder
Coarse salt
1/2 teaspoon fenugreek seeds
1/2 teaspoon nigella seeds
1/2 teaspoon black mustard seeds
1/2 teaspoon cumin seeds
1/2 teaspoon fennel seeds
3 tablespoons freshly chopped cilantro leaves

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 whole spices, mixed together. 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.

POTATO AND PEA PATTIES WITH INDIAN SPICES



Potato and Pea Patties With Indian Spices image

This is another one of Suvir Saran's ideas, which I have adapted. The whole spices in this mix contribute not only amazing flavors, but texture as well. I used a combination of light-fleshed sweet potatoes and red boiling potatoes: I loved the sweetness of the sweet potatoes with the spices, but the mix needed something starchier to hold it together, so I added some red potatoes.

Categories     dinner, lunch, burgers, main course

Time 45m

Yield 8 patties

Number Of Ingredients 12

3/4 pound sweet potatoes, preferably light-fleshed, baked and cooled
1/2 pound red boiling potatoes, scrubbed and quartered
1/2 cup finely chopped fresh cilantro leaves
6 tablespoons grape seed oil
2 dried red chiles, coarsely ground in a mortar and pestle or spice mill, or 1/2 to 3/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (to taste)
1 tablespoon coriander seeds
2 teaspoons cumin seeds
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
Salt to taste (Suvir Saran uses about 1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt)
1 cup frozen peas, thawed, or 1 cup fresh peas, steamed or boiled for 5 minutes
1 cup panko or chickpea flour (you will not use all of it)

Steps:

  • Peel cooled baked sweet potatoes and place in a large bowl.
  • Place quartered red potatoes in a steamer over 1 inch of boiling water and steam for 15 to 20 minutes, until tender. Remove from heat and add to bowl with sweet potatoes. Mash potatoes together. The red skins will fall apart. Stir in cilantro.
  • Combine 2 tablespoons of the oil with ground red chiles or red pepper flakes, coriander seeds and cumin seeds in a large, heavy skillet and heat over medium-high heat until cumin is fragrant and golden-brown, 1 to 2 minutes. Stir in cayenne and then scrape in potato mixture and salt to taste. Stir in peas and cook just until potatoes and peas are warmed through, about 2 minutes, stirring and scraping the bottom of the skillet often to work in any browned bits. Transfer mixture to a large bowl. Stir in lemon juice, taste and adjust salt, and set aside to cool completely.
  • Take up about 1/3 cup of the mixture and form into a ball (you can wet your hands to reduce sticking). Roll ball in the panko or chickpea flour, then gently flatten into a patty. Set on a plate and continue with the rest of the mixture. Refrigerate uncovered for 1 hour or longer (the longer the better).
  • When you're ready to cook, place a rack over a sheet pan. Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a 12-inch, heavy nonstick frying pan over high heat. Swirl pan to coat with the hot oil. Lower heat to medium. Place 4 to 5 patties in the pan (do not crowd), and cook until well browned on one side, about 4 minutes. Turn and brown for about 4 more minutes. Remove to rack. Heat remaining oil in the pan and cook remaining patties. Keep patties warm in a low oven until ready to serve. Serve with a salad and your choice of toppings, such as the usual (ketchup, mustard, relish), or yogurt raita, garlic yogurt, or chutney.

Tips:

  • Choose the right potatoes: Waxy potatoes, such as Yukon Gold or Red Bliss, hold their shape better than starchy potatoes, such as Russet, and are less likely to fall apart when cooked.
  • Cut the potatoes evenly: This will help them cook evenly.
  • Soak the potatoes in water: This will help remove excess starch and prevent them from sticking together.
  • Use a heavy-bottomed pot: This will help distribute the heat evenly and prevent the potatoes from burning.
  • Don't overcrowd the pot: The potatoes should be in a single layer at the bottom of the pot.
  • Add the spices early: This will give them time to infuse the potatoes with flavor.
  • Cook the potatoes over medium heat: This will help them cook evenly without burning.
  • Stir the potatoes occasionally: This will help prevent them from sticking to the pot.
  • Season the potatoes to taste: Add salt, pepper, and other spices to taste.

Conclusion:

Potatoes with whole Indian spices is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The combination of spices gives the potatoes a unique and flavorful taste. This dish can be served as a side dish or main course.
