Quicker Baked Potato

Try this method for speeding up the potato baking process (for a better texture than those that you microwave). Pre-heat the oven to 400. Place the potato in boiling water for 10 minutes. Bake for 30 minutes. This will cut the cooking time in half.

vegetables, indian, side dish, bengali

2 1/2 tablespoon mustard oil
3/4 lb potatoes, cubed
1/2 teaspoon cumin seeds
6 cup cabbage, finely shredded
1 teaspoon green chile, chopped
1/4 cup water
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon turmeric
1 1/4 teaspoon sugar
1 dash cayenne
1/2 cup green peas, cooked
1/2 teaspoon garam masala
1 ghee, optional

Heat 2 tb oil in a Dutch oven. Add potatoes & saute until they are medium brown, 10 minutes or so. Stir often. Using a slotted spoon, remove from the oil & set aside. Add the remaining oil. Add cumin seeds & fry for a few seconds. Add cabbage, chile & water. Lower heat & cook, uncovered, until the cabbage is limp, 8 minutes, stirring often. Stir in the salt, turmeric, sugar, cayenne, another 2 tb water & the potatoes. Cover & simmer until the potatoes are tender. Then, add the peas & cook for 2 minutes. Remove from heat, stir in the garam masala & let it stand, covered, for a few minutes. Sprinkle with ghee if desired & serve.
