3 large potatoes - nicely scrubbed

1/2 tsp turmeric powder

1 tsp cumin seeds

3 tsp Kasuri Methi

1/2 tsp Red Chilli powder

2 green chillies - slit lengthwise

Cooking Oil

Salt as per taste

Par boil the potatoes in water. Allow them to cool. Dice them & set aside

Heat oil in a pan, splutter cumin seeds & add green chillies & allow them to sizzle for a couple of seconds.

Add diced potatoes, turmeric powder, red chilli powder & salt. Cook on medium heat with a closed lid & keep stirring often to avoid the bottom from getting burnt. If the potatoes start sticking to the pan, sprinkle some water But don't add too much water else, the potatoes will get mushy.

When the pototoes are completely cooked yet firm, add crushed kasuri methi & give it a stir & cook for a couple of mins before transferring them to a serving bowl.

Do Not add huge amounts of Kasuri Methi to the curry as it has a slightly bitter taste.

You can replace Kasuri Methi with fresh Methi leaves, But the flavor of Kasuri Methi is sligthly different & I love it

Instead of parboiling the potatoes, I sometime dice them & cook them in oil. This definitely is much more oily, but tastes like Heaven !!! This is perfect of you want to make this fir picnics esp during summer as you need not worry about them getting spoilt.
