Potatoes With Fresh Curry Leaves (Bhaji) image

None of the Bahji recipes on 'Zaar seem to have curry leaves so I thought I'd throw this one into the mix. From "Cardamom & Coriander" by Simon Morris. He states this is the real thing, served as snack food on the beaches of Bombay. This one makes up as a sort of Indian hash brown dish. The spice combination is the thing that makes is sing. Do your best to get fresh, fresh, fresh! You may use butter with a drop of oil (to prevent burning) rather than ghee if desired.

I'm not a huge fan of potatoes, but these were delicious! The curry leaves really made a difference. I served them with some yogurt and they were the perfect side dish.
