Potato Cholay

Great as either a side or part of the main course

Cooking Time

Ingredients

• 4 tablespoons of olive oil
• 8 small red potatoes cut into 1/4 inch “coins”
• Salt
• 60ml water or broth
• 1 medium onion, diced
• 2 cloves of garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon (two inches) grated garlic
• 1 tablespoon of turmeric
• 1 tablespoon of garam masala
• 1 tablespoon of cumin seeds
• 1 tablespoon of ground coriander
• 1 teaspoon of pepper
• 1 tomato, diced (or can of diced tomatoes drained)

Method

1. Preheat a skillet over medium heat and add two tablespoons of olive oil. When the oil is hot, add the potatoes and a pinch of salt. Toss the potatoes to coat them in the oil.
2. Cook the potatoes covered until soft. Add a tablespoon or two of the water or broth if the pan gets dry. This will take 10-15 minutes.
3. Add the onions, another pinch of salt, ginger, and garlic and saute until the onions soften, 5-7 minutes.
4. Add the spices and the tomatoes and cook until the tomatoes become warm and give off a little liquid.
