Vij’s Turmeric Potatoes
One day I hope to travel to India. For now, I’ll have to satisfy my culinary travel bug with the talents of chef Vikram Vij.
The Turmeric New Potato Recipe from Vij’s: Elegant & Inspired Indian Cuisine is one of my favourite potato recipes. The potatoes are flavourful and tender, and make a great side dish instead of rice or noodles.
To begin, onion is fried in oil. Then the spices – turmeric, cayenne, and salt – are added and fried, followed by the potatoes and a bit of water to steam them. I used red potatoes because I had them on hand, but thin-skinned, slightly sweet new potatoes sliced thin work best in this recipe. Despite the bold flavours, this is still unmistakably a potato dish.
The potatoes are a delicious week night treat – almost as delicious as popping over to Rangoli for dinner!
