SUKHE ALU (POTATO CURRY)

Serves: 3-4

1 tbsp (15 mL) unsalted butter

1 medium onion, diced

2 tbsp (30 mL) fresh cilantro leaves, plus more for garnish

1 tsp (5 mL) ground turmeric

1 1/2 tsp (7.5 mL) salt

1 pinch chili powder (optional)

1 lb (454 g) small potatoes, scrubbed and quartered

1 tsp (5 mL) garam masala

1 tbsp (15 mL) freshly squeezed lemon juice

1. In a large saucepan, melt the butter and gently sauté the onion and cilantro.

2. Add the turmeric, salt and chili powder, if using. Stir well, then add the potatoes. Stir for a few minutes, then lower the heat.

3. Cover and cook for 30-35 minutes, or until tender, sprinkling in a little hot water when needed to prevent sticking to the pot.

4. Add the garam masala and lemon juice about 10 minutes before removing from heat. To serve, garnish with more fresh cilantro.
