INDIAN SPICED POTATOES

    Yield: 4 servings

    4 tbsp Vegetable oil
    6 med Potatoes, cut into bite-sized pieces
    1 med Onion, very finely chopped
    2 ea Garlic cloves, minced
    Salt & pepper
    3 ea Dried red chiles
    1 ea Bay leaf
    1 1/2 tsp Chili powder
    1 tsp Turmeric
    2 tsp Garam masala
    1/4 cup Cilantro, chopped

    Heat vegetable oil in a large saucepan with a good base over medium heat. When hot, put in the potatoes & stir well. Reduce the heat to low & cook very gently, stirring occasionally, for 10 minutes. Add the onion & garlic & continue to cook over the low heat for another 10 minutes. By this time, the potatoes should be cooked through. If not, cook them for another 5 minutes. Be careful that you do not overcook them or else you may get a soggy mess. Season with salt & pepper.

    Crumble in the red chiles & stir in the bay leaf. Add the remaining spices in order, except for the cilantro, & continue to cook over the low heat & stirring once or twice for a further 5 minutes. If you have the heat very low, you should not have a problem with it sticking. If it does stick, sprinkle in a few drops of water. Stir in the cilantro & serve immediately.
