CUMIN-SCENTED POTATOES WITH TOMATOES (GHURMA ALOO)

Steps:

• Drain the potatoes and pat them dry.
• Heat the oil in a medium-size saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the cumin seeds and cook until they sizzle, turn reddish brown, and are fragrant, 5 to 10 seconds. Add the potatoes, onion, and turmeric, and stir-fry until the potatoes and onion are lightly browned around the edges, 4 to 6 minutes.
• Sprinkle in the salt and cayenne, and stir once or twice. Pour in 1 cup water and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium-low, cover the pan, and cook, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are almost fall-apart tender, 18 to 20 minutes.
• Stir in the tomato and cilantro, and cover the pan. Simmer, stirring occasionally, until the tomato is warmed through, about 2 minutes. Then serve.

• Pour tinned tomatoes over the potatoes.
• Add water to the pan.

INDIAN CUMIN POTATOES ( JEERA ALOO )

Steps:

• Wash, peel and cut potatoes in 3/4 dice or wedges, or leave skin on if you prefer.
• Bring potatoes to a boil in water and 1/2 t salt. Cover and let boil for 5-8 minutes until just cooked.
• Drain and let steam off moisture until they have a sort of dry outer skin, 10-15 minutes, or let cool completely and keep in the fridge up to 2 days. Make sure they are dry before frying.
• Heat oil in a large non-stick pan over medium high heat. Add cumin seeds and fry 30-60 seconds until they turn a shade darker and give off smell.
• Add potatoes and sprinkle with turmeric. Shake pan and fry potatoes about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until evenly golden and crisp. The trick is not to stir too frequently, so that a crust can develop.
• Sprinkle with coriander or parsley and taste with salt. Shake pan to mix and serve. You can drain potatoes on paper towels first, before adding the fresh herbs if you like.
• NOTE: The recipe can be done with other starchy vegetables like sweet potatoes or plantains, but I never tried those.

• Set potatoes on a cookie sheet and drizzle them with just enough oil to lightly coat them, about 1 1/2 tablespoons. Toss potatoes with cumin seed and roast 20 minutes at 400 F in a hot oven, then broil 5 minutes on high to brown edges of the cut potatoes. If you are making them with the Grilled Boneless Leg of Lamb, set the baking sheet with the potatoes in the oven along side the lamb on the same rack. Toss cooked potatoes with salt, to your taste, and serve.

• Dot butter over the top and pour about 1/2 cup of water around the sides of the dish.
• Cover with foil and bake for 2 hours, tilting the dish from side to side a couple of times and spooning the pan juices over the top. The lamb should be tender and the potatoes soft.

• Serve hot or at room temperature.
