Alu Curry 1

Well, I am starting this blog so that it will be easy to cook simple dishes following the recipes. (I hope). I will not be following any orderly way as the usual cook books follow. It will be just a flow of writing as the thoughts come. (Justifying my inability to follow a proper pattern in writing a cook book I suppose).
This is the simplest way of cooking potatoes into a curry (dry).
Ingredients

1. potatoes
2. salt
3. chilli powder
4. turmeric powder
5. cooking oil
6. mustard seeds

Wash potatoes and cut into small pieces of about 1/2 inch cubes. Do not peel the skin of the potatoes. (wash very well )
Take 4 medium sized potatoes and cut them.
Take a Frying Pan or a Kadai or a Iluppa chatti.
pour 1 and half table spoons of cooking oil.
put 1/2 t spoon of mustard seeds. let it splutter.
Now put the washed cut potatoes.
add half t spoon of turmeric powder (haldi powder).
Add one t spoon of red chilli powder (mirchi powder)
Add salt to taste. (may be 1/2 t spoon)
cover the pan with a lid and let the stove burn in medium to low heat.
Keep stirring the curry off and on.
Switch off when the potatoes are cooked and some of them (in the bottom of the pan) turn brown in colour.
