Cooking web notes

I know potato curry everybody knows how to make....but this is microwave version!!

You need:

• Potatoes                     --  3 nos.
• Onion                         --   1 big sized
• curry/red chillie powder  - 1 tsp
• Garam masala powder    -  1/2 tsp
• Ajwain/omam/basil seeds- 1/2 tsp
• Turmeric                      -  1/4 tsp
• Salt                            -  as needed
• Oil                              -   2 tsp
• Chopped coriander leaves- 1 tblsp

Method:

• Wash and prick the potatoes in 3,4 places and cook in microwave high for 3 minutes...just like how dear Nupur,one of our blogger friend have told.
• I used the stand shown below in picture,which is specific for cooking potatoes in Microwave oven.
• To ensure even cooking,try to change the position of the potatoes..in between cooking...say after 2 minutes,change the position and again cook for a minute.

• Let it cool for 2 minutes,2 minutes standing time is a must..
• Peel off the skin and cut into bite sized pieces.

• In a microwave safe cooking bowl/vessel,add the oil and ajwain/omam ,mix well and keep in microwave high for 2 minutes.
• Add the chopped onions,mix well and again cook for 3 minutes in high.

• Add the spice powders,chopped coriander and salt and mix well and again cook in high for 2 minutes.

• Add the cooked potato to it and mix well by sprinkling a very little water,to coat the potato with the spice powder and salt.
•  

Cook in high for 4 minutes.In the middle of cooking stir and continue again.

Well thats all !! your potato curry is ready to serve as an accompaniment for rice!!
