Cooked



Potato Curry/Palya/Karmind from Anna



Uncooked

Ingredients:

• 3 cups of diced potatoes(long thin pieces)
• 1 tsp of salt
• 6 to 8 split dry red chillies
• 1 tbs of urad dhal
• 1/8 cup of corn oil
• 1 tsp of mustard seeds
• pinch of hingh(optional)
• pinch of turmeric(optional)

Method:
Heat oil in a pan on medium heat and splatter mustard seeds. Add the urad dhal and the chillies, hingh and turmeric. Let the urad dhal brown a little (happens quick). Add the potatoes and cook for 10 minutes or so. Using a large spoon stir and flip the potatoes every now and then. Lower the heat add salt, mix well and cover with a lid. Continue to cook for a few minutes more till the potatoes are soft and a little crispy.  Turn off the heat and the yummy potatoes are ready to eat.
Cooking tips:
Use a couple more tbs of oil if the potatoes stick to the pan while cooking. If you have rasam powder add to the potatoes while adding the salt, but use fewer red chillies. To keep the potatoes from becoming mushy, turn off the heat when the potatoes are almost done. The heat in the pan itself is sufficient for the potatoes to become tender and soft.
Serving tips:
Serve potatoes with rice, rotis, pocket pits and breads.
