Recipe: Seedy Potatoes

Serves 4 to 6

- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, or a combination of butter and peanut or vegetable oil

- 1 cup finely chopped yellow onion

- 2 cloves garlic, minced

- 1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger

- ½ teaspoon coriander seeds, lightly crushed

- 1 teaspoon cumin seeds

- ½ teaspoon brown mustard seeds

- 1 teaspoon fennel seeds

- 1 large ripe tomato, peeled and chopped

- ½ teaspoon ground turmeric

- ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper

- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

- 2 cups water

- 2 teaspoons kosher salt

- 5 medium red-skinned potatoes, peeled and cut into 1-inch cubes

1. In a medium saucepan, heat butter or oil over medium-high heat. Add onion and cook until golden brown, 8 to 10 minutes. Add the garlic and ginger and continue cooking for a couple of minutes.

2. Add coriander, cumin, mustard and fennel seeds, and cook for a minute or two until the mustard seeds begin to pop and the other seeds toast. Add tomato, turmeric, cayenne, lemon juice, water and salt; bring to a boil.

3. Add potatoes, stir and cover. Reduce heat and simmer until potatoes are tender, about 15 minutes. Remove cover, turn up heat and reduce cooking liquid, stirring, until lightly thickened.
