Vegetarian Banda Kopir Tarkari

 

1/2 tsp. turmeric

1/2 lb. potatoes, cubed

1 onion, finely chopped

1 bay leaf

1/2 tsp. cumin, ground

1/2 tsp. ginger, ground

1/4 tsp. chili powder

4 tomatoes, chopped

1 c. cabbage, finely sliced

1/2 c. peas

oil

salt

 

Start by heating the oil in a heavy pan and put in the tumeric and

some salt. Fry for a few seconds and then add the cubed potatoes,

turning frequently so that they turn yellow from the tumeric. Cook

them for 5-10 minutes (they will complete their cooking later) and

remove them from the oil and set aside. Adding more oil if necessary,

now saute the onion slices until they are soft and transparent. Then

add the bay leaf, cumin, ginger and chili powder. Stir well and put

in the tomatoes. When they have begun to break down, add the cabbage

bit by bit, stirring it in well so that it is sauteed in the spices.

Cover and cook gently for 3-5 minutes. Finally put in the peas and

semi-fried potatoes and seasoning.Mix well, replace the cover and

continue to cook for 5-10 minutes or until potatoes are ready.

Makes 4 servings.
