Baby Potatoes in Yougurt Gravy


So I've been cooking a lot lately.. & thought I'll share with u some of these delicious Indian dishes :P (that's me drooling)

What you'll need -

Baby potatoes (one kg - i used 3/4th kg)
Green chillies - 3 large ones slit
One cup fresh curd
Olive/vegetable Oil - 2 tsb
Spices - jeera(cumin seeds), mustard seeds,cumin powder, turmeric powder, salt, chilly powder, garam masala, coriander powder

How you'll be cooking -
1. Boil the potatoes and make sure they are not too soft
2.Let them cool a bit. Now you can peel them and pierce them with a fork.
3.In a big bowl add all the spices to the baby potatoes and mix them well, and let them marinate for about 15-20 minutes. Make sure the spices coat the potatoes really well. (you can add some oil at this stage to blend them better)
4.In a pan, add the oil and add the mustard, jeera and slit chillies, now after they splutter, add the baby potatoes and roast them a bit for about 8-10 minutes in low or medium flame.
5.After they are well roasted add the curd and stir thoroughly.
6.Now let the gravy simmer for a bit and add freshly chopped coriander leaves and serve with rice/phulka/nan...

I am a huge fan of jeera and green chillies. There are very few dishes that i don't use them in :)
p.s i promise to put up better cooking pictures soon :)
