Potatoes With Fresh Curry Leaves (Bhaji) image

None of the Bahji recipes on 'Zaar seem to have curry leaves so I thought I'd throw this one into the mix. From "Cardamom & Coriander" by Simon Morris. He states this is the real thing, served as snack food on the beaches of Bombay. This one makes up as a sort of Indian hash brown dish. The spice combination is the thing that makes is sing. Do your best to get fresh, fresh, fresh! You may use butter with a drop of oil (to prevent burning) rather than ghee if desired.

I would give this recipe 5 stars if it wasn't for the fact that it's a bit too oily for my taste.

This dish is a bit bland for my taste. I think I'll add some more spices next time.

This dish is a bit too spicy for my taste. I think I'll use less curry powder next time.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my potatoes came out really dry. I think I might have added too much flour.

I was really excited to try this recipe, but it was a bit disappointing. The flavor was bland and the potatoes were a little undercooked.
