Curried Cumin Potatoes Food

CURRIED CUMIN POTATOES

Steps:

• Place whole potatoes into a saucepan with water to cover. Bring to a boil, and cook until just tender. Drain, and cut potatoes into quarters. Set aside to keep warm.
• Heat oil in a large saute pan over medium-high heat. Saute the cumin, turmeric, and curry powder for 1 minute. Add potatoes, and saute until toasted. Toss potatoes with sea salt, pepper and fresh cilantro, and serve hot.

CURRIED POTATOES AND ONIONS

Steps:

• Heat oil in large skillet over medium heat 1 minute. Add cumin, coriander, mustard seeds and turmeric to skillet; cook until seeds are fragrant and darken slightly, about 2 minutes. Add onions and jalapeño and sauté until onions soften, about 5 minutes. Add potatoes; stir until well coated with spice mixture. Cover and cook until potatoes are almost tender, stirring occasionally, about 10 minutes. Add chopped tomatoes; cover and cook until potatoes are tender, about 7 minutes longer. Season to taste with salt and pepper and serve.

CURRIED ROAST POTATOES

Steps:

• Grind the cumin and coriander seeds together with a mortar and pestle (or spice grinder).
• Melt the butter gently in a roasting pan and add the tumeric, mustrad seeds, garlic and chillies.
• Add the ground cumin/coriander mix.
• Stir well to combine evenly.
• Place in a preheated oven, 400 F (200 C) for 5 minutes.
• Remove the roasting pan from the oven and add the potatoes.
• Stir well so that butter and spices coat the potatoes completely.
• Put back in the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes.
• Stir occasionally to keep the potatoes evenly coated.
• Test the potatoes with a skewer- if they drop off the end of the skewer when lifted, they are done.
• Serve immediately.

POTATO AND PEA CURRY WITH YOGURT, CUMIN, AND GINGER

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add the potatoes, reduce heat to a simmer, and cook until a knife easily slips into the flesh, 15 to 20 minutes. Drain the potatoes in a colander, and allow to cool for a few minutes. Cut the potatoes in half, and then remove their skins.
• Heat the olive oil in a 12-inch nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. When oil is shimmering, add the asafetida and cumin seeds. Let them cook for 10 seconds, and then add the potatoes. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are lightly browned, two to three minutes.
• Add three tablespoons of yogurt, the peas, the ginger, the salt, and the cayenne. Stir well, and let cook until the yogurt is absorbed by the potatoes. Add another three tablespoons of yogurt and the coriander. Stir and let cook until the yogurt is once again absorbed.
• Add the rest of the yogurt, stir, and let cook for one minute. If you used frozen peas, you are done at this point. If you used fresh peas, add three tablespoons of water, turn heat to low, cover the skillet, and cook until peas are tender, four to six minutes. Serve the curry with rice.
