Ingredients

  • 3-4 small to medium sized potatoes (chopped it will be about 3 cups)
  • canola oil for cooking
  • 3-4 whole dried red chillies
  • ½ tsp cumin seeds
  • ¾ tsp crushed chilli flakes
  • 1 tsp salt
  • ½ cup washed and chopped dill (fresh)

Instructions

  • Peel the potatoes, cut into large wedges and then dice those into ½ cm thick slices. If you prefer to cut them another way that is fine too
  • Heat oil in a pan on medium heat. A wider skillet will allow for quicker cooking but a small 7-8 inch one is fine too
  • Add the cumin seeds and whole red chillies. When the cumin seeds crackle turn down the heat a little and add the chilli flakes. The oil will turn a lovely red.
  • Now in go the potatoes and salt, give it all a little whirl and let the potatoes cook for 20 minutes on low heat. Do not add water. 
  • When the potatoes are done taste, adjust seasoning and then add the chopped dill.  Gently stir and cover the pot. Turn the stove off, let sit for a few minutes then eat.
