POTATO AND PEA CURRY (ALOO MATAR) RECIPE

Steps:

• In a blender, combine the tomato, garlic, and ginger. Puree until smooth. Set aside.
• In a large cast-iron skillet set over medium heat, add the cinnamon, clove, and cardamom. Dry roast, stirring constantly, until very fragrant, about one minute. Pour in the canola oil, and add in the cumin seeds. When the cumin seeds start to sizzle, add the onions. Stir well until the onions are evenly coated with the fragrant oil. Turn the heat to medium-high, and cook until the onions are just starting to brown, two to four minutes. Stir occasionally.
• Add the cubed potatoes, and cook, stirring often, for three minutes. Pour in the contents of the blender, and stir until incorporated. Then add the salt, turmeric, cayenne pepper, and 1/4 cup of water. Stir until everything is combined, and then reduce heat to medium. Cook at a steady simmer, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are starting to become tender, and the oil starts to separate from the sauce, about 12 minutes. You may need to turn the heat down to low to keep it from boiling.
• Pour in two more cups of water and the peas. Maintain a simmer until the potatoes are completely cooked, about 10 minutes. Ad the cream and garam masala, and simmer gently for an additional two minutes. Season to taste with more salt, if necessary. Garnish with fresh cilantro leaves.

PEA & POTATO CRUSH

Steps:

• Boil the potatoes for 10 mins. Add the peas, cook for 4 mins more, then drain. Mash together lightly with the crème fraîche and Parmesan, then serve.

CRUSHED POTATOES

Steps:

• Cut the potatoes into cubes but keep the skin on. Cook in a pan of simmering salted water until just tender, about 10-15 minutes, and then drain. Add back to the pan with the parsley and some seasoning and crush lightly with a masher or the back of a fork.
• Add a splash of white wine vinegar and a slug of olive oil and gently mix in. Add more of each if it needs it.

SMASHED MINTED PEAS

Steps:

• Melt the butter in a small saucepan over a medium heat and sizzle the shallot for 5 mins until soft. Add the stock and peas, and bring to a simmer. Cook gently for 10 mins until the peas are soft.
• Roughly mash the pea mixture with a potato masher, or, if you prefer a smoother texture, purée with a hand blender. (It's best to leave some of the peas whole or roughly crushed for texture.) Season to taste and stir through the mint leaves just before serving.

ZESTY HADDOCK WITH CRUSHED POTATOES & PEAS

Steps:

• Cover the potatoes in cold water, bring to the boil, then turn to a simmer. Cook for 10 mins until tender, adding peas for the final min of cooking. Drain and roughly crush together, adding plenty of seasoning and 1 tbsp oil. Keep warm.
• Meanwhile, for the dressing, mix 1 tbsp oil, the lemon juice and zest, capers and chives with some seasoning.
• Dust the fish in the flour, tapping off any excess and season. Heat remaining oil in a non-stick frying pan. Fry the fish for 2-3 mins on each side until cooked, then add the dressing and warm through. Serve with the crush and broccoli.

POTATO PEA CURRY

Steps:

• Cut the potatoes into 1/2-inch dice. To remove the excess starch, place the potatoes in a bowl and rinse with cold running water until the water runs clear. Drain well.
• Heat 1/4 cup clarified butter in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Saute the onions until they are brown. At the same time, heat the remaining clarified butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Fry the potatoes until they are golden and add sauteed onions.
• Add the garlic and ginger, and cook just long enough to release their aromas, about 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from the heat and add the cumin, turmeric, coriander, and pepper flakes. Return the pan to medium heat. Stir in the tomatoes, chicken stock or water, and salt.
• Simmer, uncovered, until the potatoes are soft, about 15 minutes. Add the remaining ingredients and cook until the peas are heated through. Adjust the seasonings and serve immediately.

CHICKPEA-POTATO CHAAT

Steps:

• Potatoes
• Place potatoes in a medium pot and pour in cold water to cover by 1"; season generously with salt. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to medium, and cook until potatoes are fork-tender, 15-18 minutes. Drain and let cool slightly, then halve potatoes. Transfer to a large bowl and chill until ready to use.
• Tamarind Chutney
• Whisk tamarind concentrate, sugar, salt, cayenne, and cumin seeds in another small bowl until combined and sugar is dissolved.
• Green chutney
• Purée cilantro, mint, lime juice, chile, cumin seeds, salt, and ¼ cup water in a blender until smooth.
• Yogurt and assembly
• Whisk lime juice, yogurt, sugar, and salt in a small bowl until combined and sugar is dissolved.
• Add chickpeas, half of chile, ½ cup tomato, ½ cup red onion, ¼ cup cilantro, 2 tsp. chaat masala, ½ cup yogurt mixture, ½ cup tamarind chutney, and ½ cup green chutney to potatoes and toss to combine.
• Transfer chaat to a platter and drizzle 2 Tbsp. yogurt mixture, 2 Tbsp. tamarind chutney, and 2 Tbsp. green chutney over. Sprinkle with a pinch of chaat masala and top with sev and remaining chile, tomato, and red onion as desired. Scatter a few cilantro sprigs on top and serve with remaining yogurt and chutneys alongside.
