This is one of the first few things I learned to cook. It’s been a dozen years now and I make this so often because it’s so easy and simple and delicious at the same time. It’s an amateur level dish and just about anyone who can handle a knife and heat safely can make this.

Ingredients:

• 3 tbsp+ cooking oil
• 1 tsp Mustard seeds
• A spring, Curry leaves
• 4 medium Potatoes, fine cubes
• Salt to taste
• 1/2tsp Turmeric powder
• 1/2 tsp-1.25 tsp Red chilli powder (adjust as per heat tolerance)

Method

• Keep all your ingredients ready beforehand. So wash, peel and chop the potatoes and clean the curry leaves. Now you can proceed with the recipe which just flows.
• Heat a nonstick pan/kadhai. Add oil.
• Once the oil is hot, add the mustard seeds and let them splutter. Add the curry leaves thereafter. Remember, this happens just too quickly…
