Ingredients for 2 servings:

• 5 m.-sized jacket potatoes, peeled, cut into bite-sized pieces
• 2 tbsp oil
• 1 ½ tsp cumin
• ⅛ tsp asafetida
• 1 tbsp fresh ginger, peeled, cut into very thin slices
• 2 chili peppers, green, fresh, pitted, thinly sliced ​​lengthwise

• ¼ tsp turmeric
• ¼ tsp chili powder

• 1 tsp salt
• 2 tbsp coriander greens, finely chopped

Instructions

Working time approx. 20 minutes; Cooking/baking time approx. 10 minutes; Total time approx. 30 minutes

spicy to hot

Heat the oil (medium to high heat), adding the cumin first; it should “splash” and change color slightly. Then reduce the heat slightly and add the remaining ingredients, except for the fresh coriander, one at a time while stirring. Add the potatoes to this seasoning mixture, mix well, and heat while stirring. Finally, garnish with the fresh coriander. Serve with a glass of buttermilk or yogurt raita. Of course, you can vary the spiciness to your liking. The fresh, deseeded green chilies add more flavor than heat; the latter comes from the chili powder.
