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.

 

Banda Kopir Tarkari


vegetables, side dish, india

1/2 teaspoon turmeric
1/2 lb potatoes, cubed
1 onion, finely chopped
1 bay leaf
1/2 teaspoon cumin, ground
1/2 teaspoon ginger, ground
1/4 teaspoon chili powder
4 tomatoes, chopped
1 cup cabbage, finely sliced
1/2 cup peas
1 oil
1 salt

Start by heating the oil in a heavy pan and put in the tumeric and some salt. Fry for a few seconds and then add the cubed potatoes, turning frequently so that they turn yellow from the tumeric. Cook them for 5-10 minutes (they will complete their cooking later) and remove them from the oil and set aside. Adding more oil if necessary, now saute the onion slices until they are soft and transparent. Then add the bay leaf, cumin, ginger and chili powder. Stir well and put in the tomatoes. When they have begun to break down, add the cabbage bit by bit, stirring it in well so that it is sauteed in the spices. Cover and cook gently for 3-5 minutes. Finally put in the peas and semi-fried potatoes and seasoning.Mix well, replace the cover and continue to cook for 5-10 minutes or until potatoes are ready.
