Yield: 4 Servings

Ingredients:

4 tb Vegetable oil
6 md Potatoes cut into bite- -- sized pieces
1 md Onion very finely chopped
2 ea Garlic cloves minced Salt & pepper
3 ea Dried red chiles
1 ea Bay leaf
1 1/2 ts Chili powder
1 ts Turmeric
2 ts Garam masala
1/4 c Cilantro

Instructions:

chopped Heat vegetable oil in a large saucepan with a good base over medium heat. When hot put in the potatoes & stir well. Reduce the heat to low & cook very gently stirring occasionally for 10 minutes. Add the onion & garlic & continue to cook over the low heat for another 10 minutes. By this time the potatoes should be cooked through. If not cook them for another 5 minutes. Be careful that you do not overcook them or else you may get a soggy mess. Season with salt & pepper. Crumble in the red chiles & stir in the bay leaf. Add the remaining spices in order except for the cilantro & continue to cook over the low heat & stirring once or twice for a further 5 minutes. If you have the heat very low you should not have a problem with it sticking. If it does stick sprinkle in a few drops of water. Stir in the cilantro & serve immediately. Recipe by Mark Satterly
