Potato Curry

This simple curry works great as a vegetarian main dish with rice or flatbreads. It's also a great potato option to accompany a meat dish.



Ingredients:

• 2 tablespoons raw sesame oil
  
• 1 garlic
  
• 1 pound potatoes
  
• 3 or 4 shallots

• 1/2 teaspoon turmeric
  
• 1/2 teaspoon mustard seeds
  
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  
• 1 teaspoon ground coriander
  
• 1/4 cup water

Directions:

Peel the potatoes and cut into half inch cubes.
Mince the garlic, shallots and hot peppers.
Dice the tomatoes.

Heat the oil in a large pot with a tight fitting lid.
Add the garlic and stirfry for 1 minute.
Add the potatoes and shallots and stirfry until the shallots are soft.
Add the remaining ingredients, stir to blend well, and bring to a vigorous boil.
