Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 10

4 large potatoes
6 cloves garlic, crushed, or more to taste
1 teaspoon black pepper
4 dried basil leaves, or more to taste
½ teaspoon cumin seeds (jeera)
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 dried red chile pepper
¼ cup lemon juice
1 tablespoon bottled orange sauce, or to taste
2 teaspoons sesame seeds

Steps:

  • Place a steamer insert into a saucepan and fill with water to just below the bottom of the steamer. Bring water to a boil. Add potatoes, cover, and steam until easily pierced with a knife, 30 to 35 minutes. Drain and cool until easily handled, about 15 minutes.
  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Peel and dice potatoes into 1-inch cubes. Spread on baking sheet.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until lightly golden, 15 to 20 minutes.
  • Grind garlic, black pepper, basil leaves, and cumin seeds into a paste with a mortar and pestle.
  • Heat oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add garlic paste and red chile pepper; cook and stir until garlic begins to brown, 1 to 2 minutes. Stir in potatoes and lemon juice. Cover and cook until flavors combine, about 5 minutes. Stir in orange sauce and sesame seeds.

The potatoes were a bit bland for my taste. I think I'll add some more spices next time.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover potatoes. I always have a few extra potatoes lying around, and this is a delicious way to use them up.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my potatoes didn't turn out as crispy as I would have liked.
