Masale Aaloo Spice Potatoes Recipes

Steps:

• Bring a pot of water to boil over high. Once the water boils, add the potatoes. Cook until tender, about 10 minutes, then drain in a colander.
• In a heavy pot, heat the oil over medium. Add the urad dal, cumin and mustard seeds, and fry until cumin seeds are browned and dal is crisp, 1 to 2 minutes. Stir in the cashews, chile and ginger, and cook for another 2 minutes. Add the onion, salt and turmeric, and lower the heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion is translucent and tender but not browned, about 5 minutes.
• Tip the cooked potatoes, half the cilantro and 1/4 cup water into the pot, and stir well to coat. As you stir, let some of the potato get mashed. If the mixture seems dry, add a splash more of water. Cook over low, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are heated through, about 5 minutes, then season to taste with salt. Scrape into a serving dish; top with a generous squeeze of lemon and the remaining cilantro.

Steps:

• Put oven rack in middle position and preheat oven to 500°F.
• Pat potatoes dry, then toss with remaining ingredients in a bowl until evenly coated.
• Spread out potatoes in 1 layer in a large (17- by 12-inch) shallow heavy baking pan, then roast, turning potatoes over with a metal spatula once or twice during roasting, until tender and some edges are golden brown, 25 to 30 minutes.

Steps:

• Place the potatoes into a large pot and cover with salted water. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until tender, about 20 minutes. Drain and cool to room temperature.
• Once the potatoes have cooled, peel and cut into bite-sized cubes. Place into a mixing bowl, and sprinkle with ground cumin, coriander, amchoor, red pepper flakes, and salt. Toss gently to evenly coat the potatoes with the spices.
• Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Stir in the whole cumin seeds, and cook until they begin to pop, about 30 seconds. Add the potatoes; cook, stirring occasionally until the potatoes have heated through.

Steps:

• Boil potatoes, leaving them very slightly on the firm side.
• Peel, cool and cut into 3/4" cubes.
• Sprinkle the cumin, coriander, cayenne, amchur, garam masala and chaat masala on the potatoes and mix well but gently.
• Add salt to taste, keeping in mind that some dry spices have their own saltiness. Do a taste test and mix gently.
• In a skillet, heat the oil on medium heat.
• Once the oil is hot, add in mustard seeds and allow them to pop.
• Add in the dry red chili, if using.
• Add in asafoetida, turmeric, curry leaves and green chillies in that order. Then add in the potatoes and mix gently, but thoroughly. Cook the potatoes till they are heated all the way through and further if you want them caramelized.
• Sprinkle on the lemon or lime juice and cilantro. Mix well.
• Serve as a side dish or as an appetizer.
