Potatoes cooked with onion and poppy seeds…one of the simplest and tastiest potato dishes that I have ever eaten…and so says this confirmed potato hater!! —MM's Kitchen Bites
Ingredients
-
2
Large Potatoes
-
2-3
Green Chilies ( or use 1 dried red chili)
-
1
Medium Size Onion, finely sliced (optional, I like to add)
-
2 tablespoons
Posto/Poppy Seeds
-
1/2 teaspoon
Kashmiri Red chili powder/ Paprika (used for colour, optional, I like to add)
-
1/2 teaspoon
Turmeric powder, ½ tsp (optional, I skip)
-
1-2 tablespoons
Oil
-
Dash
Salt
Directions
-
Peel the potatoes and cut them lengthwise like French fries (or even thinner). Soak them in cold water for about 10-15 minutes. Drain and keep aside. (If using turmeric, sprinkle turmeric and salt on the potatoes and keep them aside for 5-10 minutes, drain well)
-
Heat the oil in a pan. Add the chilies, followed by the onions. Fry the onions on low heat till they start to caramelize.
-
Add the potatoes, poppy seeds, salt and mix well. Toss around and fry on high heat for a couple of minutes.
-
Lower the heat, sprinkle the Kashmiri red chili powder (if using) and mix well
-
Now cover and cook till the potatoes are almost cooked.
-
Uncover and finish cooking on medium high heat till potatoes go light brown and crisp.
-
Serve hot with dal and rice/rotis.
