Potato Bean Curry
# Ingredients:
- 9 oz new potatoes (med-large)
- ½ cup canola oil
- 1 ½ tbsp cumin seed
- 3 cups pureed tomatoes
- 1 tsp mustard
- 1 tsp salt
- ½ to 3/4 tsp cayenne
- 1 tsp tumeric
- 4 1/3 cups water*
- 9 oz green beans
*This is what the recipie says, but it depends a lot on the consistency of the tomatoes used. Can be anywhere from 0 to 2 cups.
# Directions:
Soak potatoes. Cut potatoes into ½ inch slices. Heat oil for about a minute, or until a few added cumin seeds sizzle. Add rest of cumin seeds. Reduce heat, add tomatoes, mustard, salt, cayenne, and tumeric. Cook 5 to 8 min. Add water, boil for 8 to 10 minutes. Reduce heat to med low. Add potatoes and cook for 5 to 8 minutes covered. Add beans and cook for 5 min uncovered. The key is for the beans and potatoes to both be done at the same time. Serve hot with basmati rice and mango chutney.
Serves 2 for a main course.
