Patatas a la Porbe with Indian twist

"Patatas a lo porbe" literally means "poor man's potatoes" in Spanish. This is a Spanish recipe and is vegan. A very simple dish made out of fried potatoes, capsicum and Onion. However, being an Indian, I cudn't resist adding turmeric powder and cumin seeds, so gave a Indian twist to this 😂. Usually, the potatoes would be slowly fried, but being a little health-conscious, decided to boil it and use. You can add 1 or 2 garlic pods, but just skipped it as my daughter is not that fond of garlic.

Ingredients:

Potatoes 6 medium sized

Onion 1 big

Capsicum 1

Mustard Seeds 1 tsp

Cumin Seeds 1 tsp

Oil

Salt to taste

Coriander leaves few

Method:

🥔 Pressure cook the potatoes for 4 whistles.

🥔 Peel the skin and chop them into pieces.

🥔 Heat oil in a pan.

🥔 Once hot, add mustard seeds and cumin seeds.

🥔 Once they splutter, add the chopped onions. Saute them until they are translucent.

🥔 Next add the chopped capsicum. Saute them for a minute.

🥔 Add turmeric powder, chilli powder and salt.

🥔 Mix well and then add the chopped potatoes.

🥔 Saute them for 5 to 10 minutes until the potato blends well with the onion & capsicum spice mix.

🥔 Switch off the flame.

🥔 Garnish with coriander leaves.
