SPICY POTATO CURRY
I know potato curry everybody knows how to make....but this is microwave version!!
You need:
- Potatoes -- 3 nos.
- Onion -- 1 big sized
- curry/red chillie powder - 1 tsp
- Garam masala powder - 1/2 tsp
- Ajwain/omam/basil seeds- 1/2 tsp
- Turmeric - 1/4 tsp
- Salt - as needed
- Oil - 2 tsp
- Chopped coriander leaves- 1 tblsp
Method:
- Wash and prick the potatoes in 3,4 places and cook in microwave high for 3 minutes...just like how dear Nupur,one of our blogger friend have told.
- I used the stand shown below in picture,which is specific for cooking potatoes in Microwave oven.
- To ensure even cooking,try to change the position of the potatoes..in between cooking...say after 2 minutes,change the position and again cook for a minute.
 |  |
- Let it cool for 2 minutes,2 minutes standing time is a must..
- Peel off the skin and cut into bite sized pieces.
- In a microwave safe cooking bowl/vessel,add the oil and ajwain/omam ,mix well and keep in microwave high for 2 minutes.
- Add the chopped onions,mix well and again cook for 3 minutes in high.
 |  |
- Add the spice powders,chopped coriander and salt and mix well and again cook in high for 2 minutes.
- Add the cooked potato to it and mix well by sprinkling a very little water,to coat the potato with the spice powder and salt.
- Cook in high for 4 minutes.In the middle of cooking stir and continue again.
- Well thats all !! your potato curry is ready to serve as an accompaniment for rice!!
- This I am sending to Srivalli of cooking4allseasons, for MEC:Side dish event....:-)
And thanks to her for organizing such an useful event...so that we can make use of microwave oven in our day to day life for cooking!!!
