Dill in Potatoes - Northern Indian Style
Ingredients:
- 1 cup dill leaves
- 4 medium-sized potatoes
- 4 cloves garlic, chopped fine
- 2 tsp. cayenne pepper
- 1 tsp. turmeric^
- Salt to taste
- Oil to saute
Method:
Use a wide wok^. Add 1 Tbsp. canola oil on warm wok. Add garlic, sauté for minutes,
Cut potatoes into any shape you like -- chopped into medium sized cubes, or long, or slice them into semi-circles by cutting potato into a half first and slicing them lengthwise into any desired thickness.
Add cut potatoes to the wok and sprinkle turmeric^ on top. Potatoes are tastier with the skin on. If you do not want the skin, peel them off with a peeler. Add the cayenne pepper and salt.
Continue cooking the potatoes; add a little more oil if you like the vegetables dry, just keep turning them until cooked. If you like them to be moist, cover with a lid and cook until done.
Add the cup of chopped dill when the potatoes are almost cooked and mix well. Let it stay on stove for another 8 minutes.
Serve with any indian bread or plain rice and dhal. |
