How To Make broken potatoes with spices - aloo ka bhurta

  • Step 1
    Boil the potatoes in their skins and leave them to cool. Then peel and break them into a lumpy mash. If preferred, peel potatoes first and then boil.
  • Step 2
    Heat the oil in a medium sized heavy bottomed saucepan and add the onion, cumin seeds, and whole dried chilies, breaking them into the pan. Fry until the onions turn a rich, golden brown.
  • Step 3
    Add the mashed potato.
  • Step 4
    Sprinkle in, and mix well after each addition, the turmeric, tomato, green chili, and salt.
  • Step 5
    Blend in 3/4 to 1 cup of water and leave the mixture to cook over a low heat until it begins to bubble.
  • Step 6
    Add half the cilantro leaves, stir, and cook for another 30 seconds.
  • Step 7
    Garnish the dish with the remaining cilantro leaves.
