-------- ------------ --------------------------------

3/4 pound potatoes

2 tablespoons oil

1/2 cup chopped onions

1/2 teaspoon cumin seeds

2 whole dried chilies -- (2-3), broken

1/4 teaspoon turmeric

1/3 cup tomatoes -- chopped

1 whole green chile -- chopped

1/2 teaspoon salt

3 tablespoons cilantro leaves -- chopped

 

Boil the potatoes in their skins and leave them to cool. Then peel and

break them into a lumpy mash. If preferred, peel potatoes first and then

boil.

 

Heat the oil in a medium sized heavy bottomed saucepan and add the

onion, cumin seeds, and whole dried chilies, breaking them into the pan.

Fry until the onions turn a rich, golden brown. Add the mashed potato.

Sprinkle in, and mix well after each addition, the turmeric, tomato,

green chili, and salt. Blend in 3/4 to 1 cup of water and leave the

mixture to cook over a low heat until it begins to bubble.

 

Add half the cilantro leaves, stir, and cook for another 30 seconds.

Garnish the dish with the remaining cilantro leaves.
