hot curry potatoes

hmmm, haven’t cooked for a while i see…. i wish! nah, just going through an inspiration-less patch. but today i feel like…. curry potatoes

boil 8 large peeled potatoes until nearly fully cooked. drain, cool and cube into dice-sized pieces. heat a large dollop of butter in a pan and fry 1 teaspoon mustard seeds, 2 cloves of crushed garlic, 1 teaspoon ground coriander, 1 teaspoon tumeric, 1 teaspoon garam masala powder and ½ teaspoon chili powder (adjust to your preferred heat level) for about 1 minute over medium heat. add the cubed potatoes and stir to coat them with the spices. add 4 large chopped fresh tomatoes and salt to taste. bring to boil, cover and gently simmer until the potatoes have cooked all the way through and the tomatoes have reduced to a thick sauce.

with this you can do a bunch of stuff…

1. serve with grilled chicken pieces
2. makes holes in the potato mixture, break eggs into the holes, cover and cook until done, and serve with a green salad
3. pile the potato mixture onto tortillas, top with another one to make a ‘sandwich’, pressing down gently to ‘glue’ them together. toast them in a bit of butter in a frying pan until brown before turning and browning the other side. serve by cutting them into wedges. great with tsatsiki and chutney.

i’m going with the egg version tonight…
