Time 25m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

12 new potatoes
1 1/4 cups yogurt, I like high fat Greek yogurt
1 1/4 cups water
1/4 teaspoon turmeric
1 teaspoon chili powder
1 teaspoon ground coriander
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon brown sugar
2 teaspoons olive oil
1 teaspoon whole cumin seed
1 tablespoon fresh coriander, chopped (cilantro)
2 fresh green chilies, sliced, and seeded
1 fresh coriander sprig (optional)

Steps:

1. Boil the potatoes in salted water with their skins on until they are just tender, then drain and set aside.
2. Mix together yogurt, water, turmeric, chili powder, ground coriander, ground cumin, salt and sugar in a bowl. Set aside.
3. Heat the oil in a medium saucepan and add whole cumin seeds. cook for a minute or two.
4. Reduce the heat, stir in the yogurt mixture and cook for about 3 minutes over a medium heat. If you do not let it cool down enough the yogurt will curdle, this is fine but it ruins the texture.
5. Add the fresh coriander (cilantro), green chilies, and potatoes. Blend everything together and cook for a further 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally.
