This recipe is lifted from Pat Chapman
1 1/2 lbs of cookd potatoes (that sounds a lot!!)
4 tablespoons of veg oil
8 tablespoon curry gravy
2 tomatoes chopped
1 teaspoon salt
Spices:-
2 teaspoon garam masala
1 teaspoon turmeric
1/2 teaspoon chilli powder
1/2 teaspoon mango powder (I doubt that one)
Heat the oil and stir fry the spices for 30 seconds
Add a little water and evaporate it off stirring all the time (2 minutes)
Add the curry gravy and tomatoes and salt and bring to boil
Add the poatoes and simmer till hot
If you can, use the oil from the top of your curry gravy
A teaspoon of garlic/ginger puree added with the curry gravy would improve it too!
Don't worry if you haven't got mango powder it just gives a slightly sour taste to the finished dish.
I don't reckon many restaurants use that
To precook potatoes you can simply boil in water for 15 minutes with a desertspoon of turmeric and a teaspoon of salt or
Heat up 4 tablespoon of oil
Add 2 desertspoon of garlic ginger puree and fry til brown
Add the peeled potatoes and a tablespoon of madras curry powder
Stir to coat the spices over the poatoes
Add enough cold water to 3/4 cover the potatoes and bring to the boil
Simmer with the lid on for 15 minutes checking that it doesn't dry out
When you add the cooked potatoes to the finished curry make sure you get some of the sauce it was cooked in.
It's really tasty!!
