ROASTED CUMIN POTATOES

Roasted potatoes with cumin is a perfect side dish to have along with almost anything. You can have it instead of french fries with sandwiches and burgers and is lot more flavorful and healthier since there is no deep frying involved.One can also have it as an appetiser.It can be made in a jiffy with all the ingredients readily available in your pantry.The potatoes are simply boiled and then roasted on medium heat with cumin and some spices.

This is my post on day 20 of RM2.

INGREDIENTS

Potatoes - 4 medium size

cumin seeds - 2-3 tsp

turmeric - 1/2 tsp

red chilli pdr - 1 tsp

amchur/mango pdr - 1/2 tsp

salt to taste

oil

METHOD

Boil and cook the potatoes until they are just done.Be careful not to overcook the potatoes. They will turn mushy and wont keep its shape while roasting.Peel off the skin and cut it into large cubes.Keep aside.

In a wide flat bottom pan add some oil just enough to cover the bottom surface.When its hot add the cumin seeds,turmeric and red chilli pdr.Immediately add the potatoes pieces and toss it so that its evenly coated with the spices and cumin.Stirring it with spatula will squish them.So tossing is the best option .Add salt.Spread out the potatoes evenly in the pan and let it roast on medium heat until they turn golden brown.Dont disturb the potatoes for some time,that will help them to get a nice brown crust.In order to get the best result use a nonstick pan.Roast all the sides of the potatoes.Serve hot with burgers or rice.
