Lean how to make potato curry fully in microwave oven. I know potato curry everybody knows how to make....but this is microwave version. There could be days where we might not be able to use gas stove, say an instance out of stock - gas cylinder or you are put up for a while in an apartment only with microwave. Or you are a bachelor, have microwave and want to cook something.
You need:
- Potatoes - 3
- Onion - 1 big sized
- curry/red chilli powder -1 tsp
- Garam masala powder - 1/2 tsp
- Ajwain/omam -1/2 tsp
- Turmeric - 1/4 tsp
- Salt - as needed
- Oil - 2 tsp
- Chopped coriander leaves -1 tbsp
Method:
- Wash and prick the potatoes in 3,4 places and cook in microwave high for 3 minutes..
- I used the stand shown below in picture,which is specific for cooking potatoes in Microwave oven.
- If you don't own this stand, no issues, just keep over the rotating platform in outer circle. Make sure to prick so that it does not burst out of pressure.
- 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!!
