Sukha Aloo

Sukha Aloo

It’s been a couple of weeks of sick kids (don’t you love cold and flu season?). I made these potatoes today because I had a craving for carbs (probably lack of sleep), and well I figured these would do less damage than Fettuccine Alfredo. If you don’t have amchur powder handy, feel free to use a little extra lemon juice to add tartness. I love these wrapped up in a tortilla, or served with lentils on the side. They also make a great breakfast potato. Enjoy!

Ingredients

6 medium potatoes (roughly 5 cups)
1⁄4 cup oil
1⁄4 teaspoon cumin seeds
1 teaspoons Garam Masala
2 teaspoons coriander powder
1 teaspoon cumin powder
1⁄4 teaspoon turmeric
1⁄2 teaspoon amchur powder (mango powder)
Dash of cayenne pepper
Salt to taste
1⁄2 lemon

Instructions

  1. Peel and chop potatoes into bite sized pieces.
  2. Boil potatoes in salted water until just tender. (Do not overcook)
  3. Drain and set aside.
  4. In a large skillet heat oil over medium heat.
  5. Add cumin seeds.
  6. When seeds start to pop (roughly 30 seconds), add potatoes, stir.
  7. Add Garam Masala, coriander, cumin, turmeric, amchur, cayenne and salt to taste.
  8. Stir to coat potatoes with spices.
  9. Cook for roughly five minutes, stirring frequently.
  10. Squeeze lemon over the top of the potatoes and serve.
