Chetna Makan's Masala Potatoes

 I have become very attached to Chetna's YouTube Channel, and she has taught me some basic Indian cooking techniques.

This is her filling for masala dosa, which I have made a few times on the tawa I purchased. The dosas are quite a potchke, but the potatoes are pretty easy and really good by themselves as a side dish.

2 large potatoes

Oil (she uses safflower)

1 t. mustard seeds

curry leaves (I bought them at an international store)

dried chili (if you have one)

1 t. tumeric

1 t. salt

1-2 large onions, diced

Boil the potatoes. Let them cool. Peel and dice.

In a deep fry pan, heat the oil. Throw in the mustard seeds, chili, and curry leaves and let sizzle for a minute. Add the onions and spices and cook until soft. Add the diced potates, stir (they will turn a beautiful yellow from the tumeric) and heat through, about 5 minutes. These are filling and delicious.
