Potatoes With Roasted Poppy Seeds image

Lend a nutty, earthy taste to potatoes by flavoring it with roasted poppy seeds. Be sure to use the creamy white poppy seeds and not the black ones that are used in breads and baking. This dish has a distinctly delicious taste, rather different than that of the regular Indian potatoes made with either cumin or mustard seeds.

Time 35m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 1/2 lbs potatoes (slice 1/2-inch thick)
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
3 tablespoons white poppy seeds
1/2 teaspoon fennel seed
1/2 teaspoon cumin seed
1/2 teaspoon onion seeds
1/2 teaspoon black mustard seeds
2 red chilies, dried (crushed)
1/2 teaspoon turmeric powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup warm water
cilantro, to garnish (optional)

Steps:

  • Heat a pan on medium heat, add poppy seeds and reduce heat to medium-low.
  • Carefully roast them until they are just a shade darker.
  • Remove from pan and cool.
  • In same pan, heat oil and add the mustard, fennel, cumin and onion seeds.
  • When they turn color, add the chillies and allow them to just blacken (but not burn, as that would impart a bitter taste).
  • Stir in the turmeric powder and immediately potatoes and salt.
  • Stir thoroughly and add the warm water (you may need to add more, but start with small quantities and add as you go along).
  • Cover and reduce to low heat.
  • Cook for a further 15 minutes until potatoes are tender.
  • Grind the cooled poppy seeds using a coffee grinder or mortar and pestle.
  • Stir the ground seeds into the potatoes - it will form a thickish paste which will adhere to the potatoes.
  • Continue to stir under medium heat if there is too much water, until you reach the desired dry-ish consistency.
  • Goes well with pooris or chapatis.

I tried this recipe and it was a complete failure. The potatoes were mushy and the poppy seeds burned. I would not recommend this recipe.

These potatoes were a disappointment. They were dry and bland. I won't be making them again.

I'm not a big fan of potatoes, but these were really good! The roasted poppy seeds made all the difference.

I followed the recipe exactly and the potatoes turned out great. They were a perfect side dish for my roasted chicken.

These potatoes were so good! I loved the combination of flavors and textures. The potatoes were crispy and fluffy, and the poppy seeds added a nice crunch.

Easy to make and delicious! I used Yukon Gold potatoes and they turned out perfectly. The roasted poppy seeds added a nice touch. Will definitely make again.

These potatoes were a hit at our dinner party! They were crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside, and the roasted poppy seeds added a delicious nutty flavor. I will definitely be making these again.
