Indian Potatoes With Dill image

This is my adapted version from an Indian cookbook. The recipe this is based on uses the same amount of fresh dill as potatoes. I did not have as much dill on hand, so I made it as printed below. I also reduced the amount of garlic slightly (original uses 5), so add more garlic if desired. This potato dish is the perfect accompaniment to an Indian-style roasted chicken along with some raita. Yummy!
