Already thinking about dinner!

Thursday, October 25, 2007

Just came back from lunch and thinking about dinner! LOL! Today is Thursday so no meat for DH. Not that I cook meat at home, but he can't even have it outside so he will prefer to eat something at home. I have some boiled potatoes in the fridge so I'll make Boiled Potato Curry.

Boiled Potato Curry


This curry is traditionally eaten with Puris (fried). I make it all the time and serve with Roti instead as a healthy alternative. Just as yummy.

3 boiled potatoes, peeled and cubed
2 medium tomatoes, chopped
1/2 inch piece of ginger, grated
1 clove garlic, minced
1/2 tsp turmeric
1/2 tsp red chili
1/2 cup water
1 tbsp oil to cook
Cilantro leaves to garnish
salt to taste

Heat oil in a pan. Add the ginger and garlic.
When the garlic releases it's aroma, add the chopped tomatoes.
Cook the tomatoes on low, stirring occasionally, until the oil separates the gravy.
Add the turmeric, salt, and red chili.
Add the potatoes and stir until they're completely coated.
Add 1/2 cup water, mash some of the potato pieces with a spatula in the pan itself.
Cook until water becomes thick and gravy-like. Turn off the gas.
Garnish with chopped cilantro.
Serve with Roti or Puri, with homemade Yogurt Raita on the side.
