Roasted Potatoes (Sukhi Bhaji) image

Another recipe, untried by me, found on Greeting India that I am posting for ZWT. It calls for fenugreek seeds, which I haven't seen in my local grocery store, so if you can't find it, could double the mustard seeds, as it is a recommended substitute.

Tips:

Selecting Potatoes: Choose firm, unblemished potatoes with smooth skin. Avoid those with green spots or sprouts, as they may have a bitter taste.
Cutting Potatoes: For uniform roasting, cut potatoes into evenly sized pieces. Smaller pieces will cook faster, while larger pieces will take longer.
Seasoning Potatoes: Use a combination of spices and herbs to enhance the flavor of the potatoes. Paprika, garlic powder, cumin, coriander, and chili powder are popular choices.
Coating Potatoes: Toss the potatoes with olive oil or melted butter to help them crisp up during roasting. You can also add a small amount of cornstarch to help create a crispy coating.
Roasting Potatoes: Roast the potatoes in a preheated oven at a high temperature (400°F or 200°C) for about 30 minutes, or until they are tender on the inside and crispy on the outside.
Sukhi Bhaji Variation: For a flavorful variation, try adding chopped onions, tomatoes, green chilies, and ginger to the potatoes before roasting.
