Potatoes With Garam Masala and Spicy Tomato image

A great side for lamb dishes. Use your favorite garam masala. I like ones that have a bit of nutmeg in them. Asafetida can be found at Indian spice shops.

Time 1h10m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 lb yukon gold potato
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 pinch asafoetida powder
1 medium onion, peeled and coarsely chopped
2 garlic cloves, peeled and minced
1 inch fresh ginger, peeled and minced or grated
1/2 teaspoon turmeric
1 teaspoon ground coriander
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1/4 teaspoon cayenne
1/3 cup cold water
5 plum tomatoes, seeded and chopped
1/2 teaspoon garam masala
1/2 teaspoon salt
4 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped

Steps:

  • Scrub potatoes. Place in a medium pot and cover with water. Bring to a boil over high heat; reduce heat to low and cover. Simmer until fork-tender, about 25 minutes. Drain and rinse in several changes of cold water and let stand.
  • When potatoes are cool enough to handle, peel and cut into 1/2-inch cubes. Place in bowl and toss with 2 tablespoons of the oil.
  • Heat remaining oil over medium-high heat in a medium saucepan or skillet. When hot, add asafetida, stir and let sizzle for 30 seconds. Add onion and saute until it begins to brown, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and ginger, stir and cook 3 minutes.
  • Add the potatoes, turmeric, coriander, cumin and cayenne. Stir well to coat the potatoes and add 1/3 cup cold water.
  • Add tomatoes, stir, cover and cook 10 minutes, stirring once after 5 minutes.
  • Mix in garam masala, salt and cilantro.
  • Serve.
