Guest guest Posted January 22, 2005 Report Share Posted January 22, 2005 These are insanely good. Laura ---------------- Baby Potatoes with Seasoned Tomato Sauce (Aloo Tamatar Sabji) Serving Size : 4 Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method -------- ------------ -------------------------------- 1 1/2 pounds waxy new potatoes, no more than 2 inches in diameter 3 whole cloves 6 black peppercorns 2 teaspoons coriander seeds 1 teaspoon cumin seed 1/2 teaspoon fennel seeds 1 inch fresh ginger root -- peeled and coarsely chopped 2 hot green chilies 3 tablespoons cilantro or parsley -- chopped 2 tablespoons water 2 tablespoons vegetable oil 2 tablespoons soy margarine 1 teaspoon black mustard seeds 6 curry leaves -- preferably fresh 1 cup tomatoes -- peeled, seeded and coarsely chopped 1/2 teaspoon turmeric 1 teaspoon garam masala 1/2 teaspoon chat masala 1/2 teaspoon salt Boil the potatoes in their skins just until fork tender. Cool and peel if necessary and cut into 1/2-inch pieces. Place the cloves, peppercorns, coriander seeds, cumin seeds and fennel seeds in a mortar or spice mill and grind to a powder. Transfer to a blender, add the ginger, chilies, 1 tablespoon of the fresh herb and the water, and blend until smooth. Heat the oil and margarine in a heavy 12-inch nonstick frying pan over moderately high heat. When it is hot but not smoking, add the black mustard seeds and fry until they pop and turn gray. Drop in the curry leaves and in seconds follow with the tomatoes and turmeric. Reduce the heat and, stirring now and then, cook until the juices cook off and the oil separates from the tomatoes. Add the potatoes, garam masala, chat masala and salt, gently stir, and cook, covered, until the potatoes are hot. (You may need to add sprinkles of water if you do not use a nonstick pan.) Sprinkle with the remaining fresh herb before serving.
