This potato dish is brilliant in its simplicity and versatility; it’s delicious eaten by itself or as an accompaniment to your favourite dish!

Method

- Then, add the cumin seeds, chilli flakes, salt, turmeric and gently fry for a couple more minutes
- Add the chopped tomato, stir, turn down the heat, add the potatoes and mix well.
- Add the water and cook for about 5mins on a medium flame, stirring occasionally.
- Add methi leaves and continue to cook on a medium flame until the potatoes are just done and the water is fully absorbed.
