Bombay Potato and Onion Curry
Preheat skillet with oil.
l ) Sauté mustard seeds. When they crackle add the onions and fry till transparent.
2) Add the green chilies and give it 2 to 3 minutes to soften.
3) Add the optional turmeric, curry, and the salt.
4) Now add the potatoes and fry until well softened, and the potatoes take on the turmeric color.
Note:
a) This dish tastes great as a sandwich.. Place the curry between two slices of lightly buttered bread and lightly fry, or place in a sandwich maker. It comes out crispy and hot, similar to hot pockets. It can even be used in a pot pie.
b) This dish also goes very well with plain white rice, pita bread, or tortillas.
c) *Always make sure to cover the pan when mustard seeds are added to the hot oil. They can pop and splatter everywhere.
