MADRAS POTATOES RECIPE

Ingredients:
2 lbs potatoes, peeled and cut into large chunks
2 tablespoons ghee or vegetable oil
2 teaspoon black mustard seeds
1 onion, sliced
3 garlic cloves, finely chopped
1 inch gingerroot, finely chopped
1 red chili, seeded and finely chopped
1 teaspoon ground cumin
½ teaspoon coriander

Directions:
Add the potatoes to a pot of salted boiling water. Boil for 5-7 minutes or until tender.
Drain the potatoes and set aside to cool.  Add the ghee or vegetable oil to a large skillet that
is set over a medium-high heat. Next add the mustard seeds and stir until they start to
crackle, approx. 1 minute. Now add the chopped onion and sauté, stirring frequently for
4-5 minutes. Add in the garlic, gingerroot, and the chili. Continue cooking until the
onion turns a golden color.

Now to the onion mixture, add the cumin and coriander and stir until
well blended.  Add the potatoes to the mixture and stir until well
coated and warmed throughout.
