DRY POTATO CURRY



Dry Potato Curry image

I found this delicious recipe in the Margaret Fulton Cookbook. I didn't have any mustard seeds, so subbed a teaspoon of English mustard; and subbed a teaspoon of curry powder for the garam masala. We had it with a Thai red prawn curry and steamed rice, but it is often served as a main dish for vegetarian meals. Edited 16 December to include salt and paprika in ingredients.

Categories     Indian

Time 40m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

6 medium potatoes
6 tablespoons oil
1 teaspoon black mustard seeds
1/2 teaspoon cumin seed
1/2 teaspoon fennel seed
1/2 teaspoon turmeric
1/2 teaspoon cayenne powder
1 teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • Rinse off the potatoes, pierce the skin of each potato in a couple of places, and cook them on high in the microwave until tender.
  • Remove the potatoes from the microwave and let them cool for 30 minutes (or for several hours if you are not in a rush to use them).
  • When you are ready to make the potato curry, peel the potatoes and roughly dice them. Set aside.
  • In a large nonstick frying pan put the oil, mustard seeds, cumin seeds, and the fennel seeds.
  • Heat the oil over medium-high heat. When the mustard seeds have started popping for about 15 seconds, add the potatoes and turmeric.
  • Use a spatula to flip over the potatoes as they cook. Cook until you get quite a number of brown spots on the potatoes (about 8 minutes).
  • Sprinkle the cayenne powder and salt on the potatoes and cook and mix another minute or two.
  • Note: You can also make this into a wet curry by adding 1/2 cup water after you add the potatoes and turmeric. Keep adding water, 1/2 cup at a time, until you have reached the desired consistency. You may need to adjust the cayenne and salt amounts if making a wet curry. Another variation is to reduce the potatoes to 3 or 4 and add other vegetables such as carrots, peas, cauliflower and/or green beans.

Tips:

  • Use the right potatoes: Choose firm, waxy potatoes like Yukon Gold or Red Bliss, which hold their shape well during cooking. Avoid starchy potatoes like Russet potatoes, which tend to fall apart.
  • Cut the potatoes evenly: Cut the potatoes into uniform-sized cubes or wedges so that they cook evenly.
  • Don't overcrowd the pot: When frying the potatoes, do not overcrowd the pot, as this will prevent them from getting crispy. Fry them in batches if necessary.
  • Use a heavy-bottomed pot: A heavy-bottomed pot will distribute heat evenly and prevent the potatoes from sticking.
  • Add the spices at the right time: Add the spices towards the end of cooking to prevent them from burning.
  • Serve hot: Dry potato curry is best served hot with rice, chapati, or paratha.

Conclusion:

Dry potato curry is a simple yet flavorful dish that can be enjoyed as a main course or a side dish. It is a versatile dish that can be customized to your liking by adjusting the amount of spices and vegetables. With its crispy potatoes and aromatic spices, dry potato curry is sure to be a hit at your next gathering.
