Boiled potatoes, diced and braised with a few whole spices and
onions make a quick and easy side dish.
Boil the potatoes in their jackets and allow to cool thoroughly.
(Boiled potatoes can be left for a day or two in the refrigerator.) Peel and
dice them evenly. Heat the oil over medium heat in a wide shallow pan and
season with mustard seeds. When they splutter, add the red chillies and
fenugreek seeds, immediately follow with the onions and green chillies. Fry the
onions for about 10 minutes or until they are golden brown. Add the turmeric
powder, potatoes and salt. Stir-fry gently until the potatoes are heated
through or for 10 minutes. Remove from heat and sprinkle the coriander leaves
over.
